• Link from subjects or descriptors found in article citations to find others.

• Use limits, such as language, publication date, and publication type (e.g., scholarly journals or peer-reviewed journals, review articles).

• Combine searches in Search History.

• Databases produced by the same vendor (for example, Business Source Complete, Military and Government, Econlit, and PsycINFO are all maintained by EBSCO) may be searched together.

• Use truncation symbols if available, e.g. pest* will find pest, pests, or pesticides

• Limit to words in the title or abstract to narrow your search

Books and chapters in books can give you an overview on a particular topic. Use Morris Library's catalog to find these, along with journals, government documents, videos, DVDs, etc.

You may limit your search to just SIUC, or if you have 7-10 days to get your materials, search All I-Share Libraries and request that materials be sent to Morris.

Request items from around the world through Interlibrary Loan. Check and request books from I-Share first before requesting books through this service.
