Key Databases

Search Tips

Here are two ways to find articles in the library databases:

1. Search each database individually.  The benefit is your results are limited and targeted to your research needs.  Look under the Databases tab (left-hand column) for database pertinent to this course. 

2. Use the Library search engine, OneSearch.  OneSearch searches most of our databases simultaneously.  The drawback: your results list will be huge, but you can refine your search by limiting to books, journals, e-books, scholarly/peer reviewed, or full text, or by subject terms and date using the Refine Results feature in the left-hand column. . 

Search Tips:

  • If you enter multiple words (up to three) into a search box (e.g. leadership skills), they will be searched for as a phrase.
  • Use the Boolean Operator "and" to combine concepts or terms.

e.g. To find  journal articles on the topic, management of groups in organizations, use:

management and  groups and organizations

  • For optimum searching, use multiple search strategies.

 e.g. to search, managing groups or teams in organizations, use:

manag* and (groups or teams) and organization*

The truncation symbol * will return articles in managing as well as management, managerial, etc..  Placing terms in parentheses will group those terms together.

  • To limit your results to peer-reviewed or scholarly journals, check off/mark the appropriate box, or click on the designated tab (depends on the database).
  •  If the full-text of the article is not readily available in your results list either as a the article itself, or PDF or HTML, click on Request through Interlibrary Loan.to request the article via Interlibrary Loan.
