New databases...

Approaches to searching:

• Your own keywords; use of wildcards and boolean combinations can improve your results.  Use this worksheet for thinking up keywords.
• The database's index terms:  retrieve results with precision; works well when your keywords might match many synonyms.  Look for these terms in the descriptors or subjects field of a full record.  Search for these terms in a database's thesaurus or browse for them in a field's index.
• An article's cited references:  no need to think up keywords:  find the record for a good article then search to find articles that have cited it; find related articles (searches for refs in common).  Web of Science is the best database for this.
• Ask other readers:  ask your professors, e-mail authors, hang out at conferences.
• Browsing:  good old-fashioned technique; related books tend to be shelved together; also through serendipity you might find useful sources.

In your database results, look for the Get Text @ UK button.  This button links you to choices of E-Journal access-- if we don't have e-access, then try the link to InfoKat or order a copy using ILLiad.  In WorldCat Local you can find article links as well as links to E-Journals and e-books:  just click Get Text @ UK.  Look for the link in Google Scholar, too (if off-campus set your Scholar preferences to University of Kentucky).
