Database Tutorials

The first place to start when searching an unfamiliar database is the "HELP" function--usually a choice on the home page of any database.  Additionally, these tutorials and self-paced online training modules offer additional assistance:

  • Advanced Searching in OmniFile  
    Also known as Wilson OmniFile Full Text, Mega Edition
    This multi-disciplinary database provides the complete content - indexing, abstracts, and full text - from six of Wilson's full-text databases: Education Full Text, General Science Full Text, Humanities Full Text, Readers' Guide Full Text, Social Sciences Full Text, and Business Full Text. Full-text articles from five additional periodical databases are also included when available.
  • Cited Reference Searching in SSCI and Science Citation Index  
    Provides access to current and retrospective bibliographic information, author abstracts, and cited references found in approximately 5,900 of the world's leading scholarly science and technical journals covering more than 150 disciplines. 1993-present. Updated weekly.
  • IEEE Xplore Self-Paced Instant Training Modules  
    If you only have a few minutes and need some pointers, view one of these instant training modules. IEEE has taken the most requested training topics and recorded high-level overviews showing you what you need to know.
