How to find scholarly articles

1. Text Fields (Title, Abstract, Authors)

By default, words combine by AND operator. You can also combine words in the search bar by putting OR in between your search words: for example, Missouri AND (politics OR government).

Wildcards: Wildcard searches can be run on individual terms, using ? to replace a single character and * to replace zero or more characters. For example, imp?ct load*. You can ignore Wildcards by putting \ before them.

2. Date Range (Year)

For articles published in 2019, you must enter 2019. Articles dated before 2000 use [* TO 2000] and articles dated after 2010 use [2010 TO *] as phrases. You can combine dates by `AND`, `OR`, or `NOT` operators. The phrase [2000 TO 2002] has the same result as 2000 OR 2001 OR 2003.

3. Source (Journals, ebooks, and proceedings)

You can search in source title, publisher, and ISSN or ISBN. Like text fields, words combine by "AND" operator. For an exact search in sources, you can use ISSN or ISBN. ISSN must be in a format like 0266-352X.
