Difference Between Internet and Databases
Limiters
Unlike Google, databases have to limit your results. You can do this with most of our databases on the left had side of the result screen. Always make sure Full Text is checked. This will only bring back results that you have access to the whole article. You can also narrow your results by Publication date. You can change the dates either by clicking in the boxes and typing in the new dates, or by sliding the blue bar. Source types are the different places the articles have come from.
