To limit or not to limit?
The most efficient way to search is
usually to begin by limiting to Full-Text articles only. That way you know you will have access to all the articles you
find.
If you do not find enough articles, broaden your search by removing the limit to full-text, and/or by changing your search terms to something less specific.
“Get Article” link
Articles that are not full-text in WilsonWeb will have a “Get Article” link. Click this
link to search our other databases for the full-text of the article.

recording
