Type one or more search terms into the search box and click on the search button.
The search engine does not distinguish between lowercase and uppercase letters.
A results page will be produced: a list of web pages related to your search terms, with the most relevant page appearing first, then the next, and so on.
Boolean operators
The operator AND is set as default between words. You can combine several words or phrases by using the logical operators ‘OR’ and ‘AND’.
You can also use plus or minus marks for including or excluding words (see below).
Ranking
The more of the words that are present in the page, the higher is the score.
If words appear in the same order as in your query, and close to each other, the score of the document gets high.
Phrase Search
Use quotation marks to compound phrases. If you wish to search for a phrase, you write text inside “…”quotation marks.
Eg. "African studies"
Truncation
Use * for truncation of search terms. A search term does not always have to be entered in its complete form. Search terms may be truncated from left or right.
Eg. Tanza* or even *anza*
Prioritizing Words
Plus marks a word as necessary. By preceding a word or a phrase with a plus sign, you tell the search engine that you are only looking for documents that contain that word/phrase.
Eg. +policy +activities
Word Exclusion
Minus marks a word as not wanted. By preceding a word or phrase with a minus sign, you tell the search engine to exclude that word/phrase and only to look for documents that match the rest of the query.
Eg. nordic -africa –institute

This purpose of this panel is (i) to highlight the complexity involved in engaging Africa for development in its modern times and its global demands, and (ii) to articulate the need for ideological re-birth of Africans for this reason. The panel will make a case for ideological re-birth in the African instance to accommodate the large block of Pro-African world globally. The argument to this effect is that there are Pro-African minds scattered in different parts of the world in addition to a large bulk of African diaspora who should be accommodated within a large ideological umbrella to contribute and influence development in Africa.
Given the complexity in what is involved in the proper protection of African humanity at the moment, some of which are clearly political (as exemplified in the problem of Africans in the continent); some psychological( as exemplified in the divided personality of Africans in the Diaspora who appear politically and economically secure but culturally insecure); some racial (as exemplified in Pro-Arab Africans who define Africa in terms of ideals and values that emanate from the Arab world); some clearly economic and racial (as is the case with Afro-Brazilians who appear to suffer racial inequality because of their African origin and for whom the idea of Africa demands a salvific mission) this panel sets out to source for and articulate a fresh ideology that can pioneer and promote African unity by re-connecting Pro-African minds(interpreted to mean all who are interested in African development) in its global demands by transcending local barriers that can impede this.
