Tips For Journal Database Searching

It is important to search in more than one database in order to understand how scholars are talking about a research topic!

Know what Database you are searching and what types of materials it contains. For example, Academic Search Complete contains articles from journals in many different disciplines (multli-disciplinary); Compared to Business Source Elite, which contains only journals in the business/management/accounting fields (subject-specific).
Used the Advanced Search feature and chunk individual aspects of your topic in separate boxes, using the connectors AND / OR
Limit results to Peer-Reviewed
Remember: If Adler Library does not subscribe to a journal article you need, don't panic...place an ILLIAD request and we will find a copy at another library for you for free.
