Narrowing Database Search Results
Sometimes you need articles not just from scholarly journals, but also from newspapers or magazines.
Once you have entered your search terms and are on the results page look look to see if you can narrow the results to magazines and/or newspapers using the filters. These selections could be under Source Type or Format. This will tell the database to only display these types of results.
Once you open an article you can learn more about it on the record page.
1. Source: This will tell you where the article was published
2. Subject Terms: Will tell you the main points of the article. You can use these as additional keywords for your searches.
3. Abstract: This provides a quick summary of the article.
