Tips

  1. Using the right keywords in a search tool can be tricky when you are new to a topic. Try using Google Scholar first. Enter your search terms and start reading the abstracts to look for other ways to express your concept. It's also a good idea to talk to your professor to see which search terms they suggest. 
  2. You may bump into publisher websites that ask you to pay for articles. Don't do this! Chances are we either have the article full text or you can request it through Interlibrary Loan which is a service we provide to you for free! The quickest way to find out if we have the full-text of an article is to put the article title into SUMMON. Don't forget to use quotation marks around the title. 
  3. Not finding what you need? We can give you suggestions for which databases to use. Contact your librarian or just Ask Us!
