Using Articles+

Advanced Search

The Articles+ Advanced Search allows you to enter searches that will retrieve more focused results than do basic keyword searches. Use the Advanced Search interface to select search fields and add Boolean operators (AND, OR and NOT) between search terms.  

A focused way to search for a known citation:

Advanced search box. In the first row Author is selected in the dropdown and the accompanying input box says Canuel. In the second row Title is selected in the dropdown and the accompanying input box says Jane Austen and the Importance of Being Wrong. In the third row Publication title is selected in the dropdown and the accompanying input box says Studies in Romanticism. Pop-up boxes indicate to use Title when searching for article title, and to use Pub Title for journal name.

 

 

One way to look for a movie review. Film reviews are not content types in Articles+, but most film review have "movie reviews" in the subject field:

Advanced search box. In the first row All Fields is selected in the dropdown and the accompanying input box says "theory of everything". In the second row Subject terms is selected in the dropdown and the accompanying input box says movie reviews
