  Article Search Tips

*  When searching for articles, remember to connect your search terms using "and" or "or."  For example, if you are looking for articles on the quality of cell phones, try searching for "cell phone" AND ratings.

*  Most databases will let you choose the type of publication you need, such as magazines, newspapers, or scholarly journals.

*  Remember to limit your search to full text if you need articles immediately.

*  Use the pdf version rather than the html if both are available.
