Search LimitersMost (but not all) electronic databases will allow you to choose other options or limits for your search. You may limit your search in the following ways: Limit to articles that are peer reviewed. Limit to articles that are available full-text. Limit to only those journals Stetson owns. Limit by date range. Limit to articles in one magazine. On the search screen, look for a box to check next to phrases like: Peer Reviewed Scholarly Journals Full Text Stetson Titles Look for a line where you can limit the date published, indicate a date range, or type in the name of a specific journal title. Truncation and Wildcards Almost all databases allow use of a truncation symbol and/or a wildcard symbols. Sometimes one symbol is used for truncation and another symbol as a wildcard.Truncation most often means a symbol added to the right-hand side of the stem of a word which then allows for retrieval of all endings on that word. Example: econo? (finds economics, economical, econometrics, etc.) Wildcards are most often used within a word to allow for variant spelling. Example: wom*n finds woman or women. What symbols are used and how they are used varies from database to database. Read the Help screens of a database to find what symbol that database uses and how it is used. Common truncation and wildcard symbols are #, *, $, and ?. Revised: 9/09 |
