Q. How do I narrow down my search?

Here are ways to narrow a search in library databases, both on your search screen and after you have a results list.

• Full-text articles only
• Date (it is important for many topics to use recent articles)
• Source type (journals, newspaper, or magazines)
• Geography (United States, India, etc.)
• 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.
