3 choices for today:
1. Choose Health in the Subject Area column
- Choose Health Source: Consumer Edition
- Do an Advanced Search : try these search terms:
- Type in : Medicine : pull down box and choose
SU : Subject Term
- AND : type in : therap* (this is known as a
wild card; find out why!)
- OR : type in : treatment (Why did I use "OR"?)
- Finally : LIMIT Your Search – Click on "Full
Text" (Why does this limit your search??)
- Now you see Results! Make sure you look at the
journal or magazine it is in : don’t choose an article from the Harvard
Medical Review : none of us will understand it very well! Notice that
the newest articles are listed first.
2. Choose Social Sciences in the Subject Area Column
- Choose Maine Newstand
- Choose Advanced Search when you get to the search
screen
- Try the same terms as listed above (or you may be
ready to play with some more specific terms : remember spelling counts!)
When you type in "medicine" choose to have it appear in the abstract. What
is an abstract? How can it be helpful to you?
- Note that these are all Maine newspapers! Again
the news goes from the newest to oldest.
3. Search by a certain magazine. Our choice will be
Newsweek
- Go back to the main MARVEL screen and choose the
database "Academic Premier."
- Type in Newsweek in the search box. Click on SO :
Journal Name. Now, you can use the terms "medicine" and "full text"
- Take a look at
the results : I went over to the left-hand column and chose to look at
articles just on treatment. See how it limited the # of articles we are
looking at. (489 > 39)
Once you have found an article, please follow the PRINT
instructions! Choose the Print icon at the top of the page of your article. You
will see that it changes format; it saves paper. Then, print your article.
Want to see if there are any other articles you want to
use, but you want to keep the one you are looking at? Just "Add to Folder" and
you will be able to take a look at your folder when you are finished searching!
