How to Search

The AMSSA Newcomer Children's Information Exchange (ANCIE) provides a searchable database that allows users to search resources by theme, target population group, type of resource, keyword or a combination of these parameters.

  1. Select 'Search Resources' from the navigation menu.
  2. To select from the Theme, Population Group and/or Resource Type fields, click on an item from the lists provided and click 'Add'. You can select multiple items from each list. All of your selections will appear in the boxes beside the lists.
  3. To search by Keyword, type the word into the space provided. Note: Only one word can be entered in the Keyword field at a time and the correct spelling must be used.
  4. When you have finished setting your parameters, click on Search. Results will be organized by date, with the most recent appearing at the top. Note: Web links are classified by the date they were posted to ANCIE, as the actual publication date may not be available.
