Women's Studies: Finding Journal Articles

Construct your search by putting search terms (keywords) in search fields.

Combine search terms with AND, OR, and NOT (Boolean operators). 

• If the operator AND is used, materials  produced will contain all your search terms. This is the most restrictive search with the most precise results.
• Putting OR between search terms allows to you find all items that contain either term. 
• Using NOT will only find items that do not contain the search term following it. 

If you are looking for an exact phrase, enclose it in quotation marks ("").

Don't be discouraged if you get irrelevant results or no results at all. Just check your spelling or use different keywords.
