Some of the ways to search within VAST include:

On the home screen, check specific subject areas and then search
Go to the Advanced Search screen and use more fields to narrow your search. Use "select terms" if you want to see the thesaurus-controlled terms valid for a field.
In the Advanced Search screen, you can go to the "Specialized Collections" tab. Select a particular collection to search (e.g., Opera in Video) to bring up exactly the search fields relevant to that collection.
Your access is activated effective today and will expire on November 17, 2011
