One of the great things about database searches is that it will populate related search terms as you type in the search box. Take advantage of those suggestions to broaden or narrow your search. We also recommend using the "Full Text" filter. This will update your results to show complete items and remove results that are just abstracts or descriptions of a full article that isn't available.
