Search strategy:
Before you start your research, decide which keywords you will be using.
For example, if you are interested in the looting of archeological sites in United States, you might choose the follwoing keywords:
archeological site* and looting and United States
o first line: archaeolog*
o second line: looting or pillage
o third line: United States
Choosing the right database:
The library subscribes to so many databases that it is sometimes difficult to choose the right one. If you are not sure which one to choose, use the Database by subject list on the library web page. For example if you are writing a paper on "food and culture" you can choose an anthropology databaase, but you can also select one for sociology research or even an environmental studies one.
Locating the full-text of an article:
You have 4 options for getting the full-text of an article:
* Is the article available in another database (e.g., Wilson OmniFile, JSTOR)? If so, click on the link and follow the citation information (e.g., volume, issue, date of publication, etc.)
* Does the library have this journal in print? It is possible the library has the journal but not the year you need.
