How do I narrow results or refine my search to items in the catalog only?

• Use the checkbox facets on the left side of the results screen to limit your search
• For example you may refine your seach to include only peer-review journals or items in the library catalog 
• You may also narrow by content type (e.g. books, articles, research guides), subject term (be sure to click "more options" for additional subject terms), publication date, library location and language

How do I get to the full-text of an article?

• Click the title of the article you wish to read
• If you are not directed to the full-text of the article, click "Didn't get full text? Try this" in the blue banner at the top of the screen
• If the article is available in full-text, a PDF icon will appear in the list - click this icon
• If the library does not subscribe to the article in full-text, you may check for a copy in the catalog (click "By title") or request a copy from Document Delivery (click "University patrons" or "Medical Center patrons")
• If you continue to have trouble, Ask a Librarian
