APS 223: Sociology of Canadian Society

Searching for Resources

In our library catalogue, search by a topic (for example: Canadian Health). Find a relevant book in your results list, and then look for accurate subject headings in the Description section of the Details screen. Once you know the subject headings for your topic, do a subject (su:) search. Use the filters on the left side of the catalogue screen to limit your results to ebooks, print books, publication year, etc.

  • The truncation symbol (*) finds results with any ending. In the example below, immigra* with find immigrants, immigration, immigrations etc.
  • AND finds results with BOTH terms 
  • OR finds results with EITHER terms          

      

 

 

Go to EBSCOhost services and select EBSCOhost Web.  Then choose your database(s). and create a search similar to the example below. Finally, you may limit your results by using the filters on the left-hand side of the screen. For example, recently published (in the past 5 years),  and full text articles in peer reviewed journals.

 

 

 

Go to  our JSTOR database, and try a search after selecting Advanced Search. By placing quotation marks around a phrase, JSTOR will search this exact phrase only, bringing up more accurate results. You may also limit your results by item type, language and discipline.
