Tutorial on prospect research (http://www.lambresearch.com/)

Case statements in the arts and humanities. Here is an algorithm for locating case statements of an organization in a particular field. Go to the Google advanced search page. (http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en) For "with the exact phrase," enter "spotlight". For "return results from the site or domain," enter "fdncenter.org". Then for "with at least one of the words," enter your subject area, such as "orchestra" or "museum". You will need to experiment until this works for you. Following these instructions will let you find a large number of case statements.
