To formulate a search strategy, ask yourself:
For example:
What you need: | Who would write it: | Where it would be published: |
---|---|---|
research findings on treatments of college women with eating disorders | Psychologists, health/medical researchers | Scholarly journals on psychology or health |
Personal stories from women who have suffered form eating disorders | Journalists | Popular women's magazines or news magazines |
Start searching with the big search box on the library homepage.
It searches most but not all the library's resources and will show results across six different categories: Articles & More, Books & Media, Journals, Databases, Research Guides, and the Library Website.
A more targeted place to search is at the link for Articles & More beneath the search bar.
We also encourage you to explore the other databases and journals we offer since Articles & More doesn't show results from all sources.
In addition to the general search options above, search in library databases to find more articles related to your topic.
1. Type the title of the article into the large search bar on the library website. You can also search the article title in Articles & More.
2. If you don't see your article, use the Journals search function to search the journal title.
Your results should display the name of the journal along with some links for accessing it.
Select the link that includes the publication date of the issue that was published on the date listed in your article citation.
