Search Tips
Use Boolean logic to search by keywords and phrases:
- AND: "first generation" AND mentor*
- OR: male* OR men
Use "quotation marks" to search for whole phrases: "student affairs"
Search results can be limit by Date or Sorted, and also limited to Peer Reviewed
Consider truncation. The symbol used is usually *.
UNIVERSIT* will retrieve:
universities, university
Check Subject terms for other words/phrases that may work as synonyms for your topic.
Searching for Full Text
If you come across a citation to an article and you'd like to track down its full text, follow the steps below:
- Start Your Research (SYR)1. When searching for the full text of an article, start by searching the "title of an article" (enclosed in "quotation marks") in SYR.
- Periodical List (PL)2. If you're unable to locate the fulltext by searching the article title in SYR, next try searching the "journal title" in PL, which is a searchable list of print/online journals accessible through the University Libraries.
- Interlibrary Loan (ILL)3. If the Library does not have print/online access to a journal you need an article from, request a copy of the article via ILL.
The example below shows that The Journal of Continuing Higher Education is accessible in print/microform as well as online. The entry also shows coverage dates to indicate which years are accessible.
