Helpful tips for searches on Academic Databases!
-if you want to narrow your search to something specific, for example you're specifically researching Edward Hopper and how his work was influenced by the Cold War, you can hit “advanced search” and search those two together with the “AND” and “add field” options. This can also be useful if you only want a very specific search and not something else (in the drop down menu select “NOT” and enter what you don’t want to come up in your search)
** you can also do your initial search this way. just type your subject with parentheses and type “AND” in between.
- Example: type ((Edward Hopper) AND (The Cold War))
And in general, for your other college classes in life, for Academic Databases always make sure you hit Full Text and Downloads Available so you can get access to a full article for your research.
