Databases

Tips & Tricks

• Check Full-Text and/or Peer-Reviewed/Academic journals in the side menu. This is will limit search results just to evidence based articles that you can read. Otherwise, our databases will show you more than you can access.  ALWAYS look at side menus for sorting options. 
   
• Leaving the Peer-Reviewed/Academic box unchecked will bring in results that include eBooks, newspapers, and encyclopedias.
   
• Don't use full sentences when you search. Choose your search terms wisely. This is incredibly important to getting a good set of results!
   
• If you have trouble with searching or accessing a database - ask in the moment. Email eclark@highlands.edu or hop on chat.
  

Take full advantage of online tools to generate citations, but ALWAYS refer back to the APA style guide to check for errors. When you are within GALILEO, you can get a citation by e-mailing an article and using the Cite feature. Both of these options appear when you click an article title in your search results.
