Search Tips:
Advanced Search – this is the default screen
- Type in your search terms, using AND, OR, NOT from the drop-down menu to combine search terms
- If you know a specific field you wish to search, you can choose the search field from the optional
drop-down list. Otherwise, you should use the default fields to allow the database to search multiple fields and related terms.
- You can place a number of limits on your search. When you place a limit on your search you will not see any records that do not match your limits.
- You should only click on the Expand box if you are not getting results. It is usually a better strategy to change your search terms.
Using the Thesaurus – click the Thesaurus button that is in the top part of the screen to help you locate subject headings.
- Using Thesaurus does not mean that you cannot use keyword searching. But if you are having difficulty finding results, it can be very useful to know the subject headings.
Result List

left hand column.
- Click on the link with the article title to open a record and read abstract and full text (if Full Text HTML is available)of the record.

Full Text HTML and/or Full Text PDF. If full-text is not available, clicking on the
