Conducting a Search

The screenshot examples below search for articles about the Islamic State and ideology.

  • I used quotes to search for words together as a phrase (i.e. "islamic state").
  • I put my keywords into different search boxes to make the search simpler.
  • Click the green Search button to start finding journal articles.
