In our library catalogue, search by a topic (e.g, medically assisted dying).
Go into the Details screen of a relevant book in your results list, and then View the Description to find accurate subject headings. For example:
Once you know the subject headings for your topic, do a subject (su:) search.
Or combine multiple subject keywords in a single search by using the Advanced Search.
Use the filters on the left side of the catalogue screen to limit your results to ebooks, print books, publication year, etc.
Go to EBSCOhost services and select EBSCOhost Web. Then choose your database(s), and create a search similar to the example below. 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.
The truncation symbol (*) finds results with any ending. In this search, bioethic* will find bioethics, bioethical, and bioethicists.
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 and dates. For additional help with JSTOR, look under the Databases tab on the library website.
