Tips for Searching

  • Search terms and controlled vocabulary often vary, even within a given database. Try variations and synonyms. When available, check the databases' thesaurus for controlled vocabulary terms to use. 
  • Use the database' suggestions for expanded search terms. For example, if you search for "graduate student" in the MLAIB, it will suggest "graduate students or doctoral students or masters students."
  • The default display for database results is "relevancy" (as determined by unseen algorithms). You can also set them to display results chronologically (i.e. "date newest").
