Use the limiters.
Many databases, including the LibraryEngine, offer limiters. Use them to refine your search results.
![Page 21: Comp 250 Fall 16](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ed8a0b1a28ab6f6a8b45bf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
NOW YOU TRY.Find one article about your topic that interests
you and put it in your folder.
![Page 22: Comp 250 Fall 16](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ed8a0b1a28ab6f6a8b45bf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Where will you search? The Library Engine, the catalog, another database, or the open web? Why did you make that choice?
![Page 23: Comp 250 Fall 16](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ed8a0b1a28ab6f6a8b45bf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
LibraryEngine doesn’t search everything. Google only gives you 5% of what we have in our databases.•If you use LibraryEngine, you need to use limiters and a good search strategy with multiple keywords.
•Try a subject database. Some feed into LibraryEngine but not all.
![Page 24: Comp 250 Fall 16](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081605/58ed8a0b1a28ab6f6a8b45bf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
If the book or article you want isn’t available,
we can get it for you.
