Refining your results
Once you have a set of results the screen will look like this.
It is possible to refine your results by using all the options on the left hand side of
the screen. You can Search within the results, and limit the results to a particular
type of information. It is particularly useful to change this to journal articles only
because when you do a search the results tend to start with conference
proceedings first. You can open up an article in full text by clicking on the PDF
sign on the screen. You may also want to limit to articles from recent years.
Help
Help can be found within the database under the “Help” option at the top of the
screen.
Or you can contact your subject librarian for further help:
