Tips to Keep in mind while Searching

Databases

• Look for ways to narrow or limit your results (this can weed out a lot of false hits)
• After you find one useful article check the subjects or keywords attached to it. This can lead you to more efficient search terms.
• Remember that Periodical Locator can find the full text of articles in varying databases.
• When you come across materials you need but we don’t have full text access, fill out an Interlibrary Loan request (just remember to allow 1-2 weeks for delivery).
