Determining whether or not we have the articles in a database or in the library can be confusing.
If you get frustrated, contact me or the Reference Desk for help. |
The library catalog (WestCat): Use advanced search. Put literature review in the blank and select "as a phrase." Try this as a Keyword Anywhere and as Title Search.
Search I-Share: Use advanced search. Put your topic words first then put Literature Review in the second blank. Try this as a Title Search, Subject Search, and Keyword search Example: health and literture review. Use the list heading on the right side to narrow your search.
Databases: Use basically the same process with the advanced search, look to see if the databases has subject term in the pulldown, or on the side of your results to help you filter and focus results.
When you are looking at search results in Soc Abs, notice the Find it! button. You must click on it to see whether or not we have an article.
