TIPS
-
The more specific your search terms are, the more precise your results will be. For example, if you are looking for information on promotion, specifically promotion of health related information – be sure to search for Promotion AND Health.
-
You can mark items by clicking in the mark checkbox to the left of the article title. Your marked items can be found in the tools along the top of the screen. You can then review all of your articles before you print, save or download them.
-
At the bottom of each article you will find citation information for bibliographies.
-
Perform a phrase search when you are looking for an exact name or phrase. Enclose the words in question in quotation marks. ie. “Oprah Winfrey”
-
Wildcards can be used when your query includes various endings to words, alternative spelling and just when you are unsure of spelling. Communication & Media eCollection uses the following wildcards:
-
Asterisk (*)—matches any number of characters ie. invent* for inventions, inventors, invent…
-
Exclamation point (!)—matches one or no characters ie. Colo!r for colour or colour
