Tips!

tip

  • One pro tip is to use the exclude button next to the resource type to remove certain types of sources from the results.  For example, are you seeing too many articles and don't want them in your results?  Click the exclude button to remove them.

  • Want to see everything that's out there, even if our library doesn't have access to it?  Check the "Show me everything" box at the bottom of the right menu.  Request it through Interlibary Loan if we don't have it!
