Q. How do I narrow down my database search?

There are many ways to narrow a search, both on your search screen AND after you have a results list.

The video linked below illustrates several ways of narrowing a search.

Here are some of the more popular ways to narrow:

• to Full-text articles only
• by Date (currency is important for many topics)
• Source type (examples: journals; newspaper; magazines)
• Geography (example: United States)
• Add another term or two in the additional search boxes (for example, if you were searching for "bipolar disorder," try adding additional terms like: treatment; teenagers; etc).
