Search the Subject Guide when what you want can be expressed as
"show me articles about" a topic.
Here's how to search:
- Click on the entry box
- Enter one or more words
- Click on [Search]
Hint: It's usually best to search for only one or two words. If you enter more than one word, enter the most important word first, even if that looks backwards. Use one or more wildcards if you're unsure of spelling or want to search for variant forms of a word. |
The word and is ignored. The words or and not are both treated as
logical operators and the use of either one forces a keyword search.
If your search is successful, you'll see a page of the Subject Guide.
If no exact matches are found, the search system goes through a
series of fall-back steps to try to get you results.
Limiting lets you impose specific controls on the search result to produce a smaller result set that is more precisely focused on what you want. The following are ways you can limit your search:
- To articles with full text
- To articles published within a date range.
- To articles from particular journals (publications)
|
The History section at the bottom of the page displays search result
sets:
- To see citations, select View
- To clear the history list, select Start over in the left-hand column
To search for articles by matching words that occur in the articles
themselves, with the best matches displayed first, do a Relevance
Search.
To search for articles by using one or more indexes, do an Advanced
Search.
To retrieve a list of all available articles for a specific journal issue
displayed in page number order, do a Journal Search.
