Tips for searching:
- Use advanced search to combine terms
Another approach is to conduct a subject search using the author's name. Search with author's name, or chosen work, as a subject, not keyword
Limit your results to full-text:
Use the limiters on the left as applicable. For example, you may choose to limit your results to academic journals.
Use the tools on the right hand side. The cite button allows you to copy and paste a citation in the desired format.
Tips for searching:
From the Gale Resources home page, select the Advanced Search feature:
From here, you may choose the default settings 'Name of Work' and 'Person-By or About.' You may also add keywords.
Limit your results to 'Full-text.' Click on a title to access the article text.
