• Look for search terms in article titles only. 
  • ​Database searches generally default to keyword. Using the drop-down list to the right of the search bar, look for title, document title, or comparable term such as newspaper Headline.
• Limit results to Full Text:
  • Make sure that all the results are items you can access by limiting results to Full Text results only. Databases often include a mix of full text items and abstracts/synopses of items. Selecting Full Text helps prevent frustration.
• Use Filters:
  • Look for filters / limiters on your results page, such as Subject and Source types. This will help ensure you get only the results that you want and will make sure you don't have to wade through as many results.
  • Look especially for:
    • Source types: Magazines, Newspapers
    • Lexile levels of about 1050 to 1300. You can modify the lexile level as you go.
• Use AND / OR operators:
  • Use AND in your search when there are words that all need to be in your search results.
  • Use OR when there are two words that can be used interchangeably, but at least one of them needs to be present in your results.
  • Examples:
    • coronavirus OR COVID-19
    • coronavirus OR COVID-19 AND Spain (Articles about the virus in Spain only.)
