You will be taken to the Hub search results article page. What if the search returns lots of results? What can you do?

Use the filter options

example filter options for the article we are looking for

Select from the various filter options to focus the number of entries in the search results. You might try:

  • publication date range if you know the journal is recent
  • journal article source type
  • subject filter option

Use the Hub advanced search options

Use the advanced search to focus your results. Click “Advanced Search” from the Hub results page (under the search box).

In this example I can add the author’s name to the search criteria. See the screen-shot where I have entered “shapiro” and seleced author.

Full-text options are presented with the article in the search results. Options available may include:

  • Download PDF
