Article Database Search Tips

These general search tips can be used in most Article Databases:


Use AND to search for more than one keyword, e.g.Germany AND expressionism

Use OR to broaden searches, e.g. Expressionism AND (art OR music)

Use parentheses if using AND and OR in the same search

Use field searching (e.g. in Subject, Abstract, or Assigned Keywords) to increase relevance

Use double quotes for phrase searching

Use * to truncate words to get all possible endings, e.g. femini* to get feminine, feminists, feminism, etc.

Change article sort to most recent, where appropriate;

Limit by type of source, where available;

Copy and paste citation information for each article saved or used and check for completeness.
