TINFO 470 IT for Leaders - Dr. Jim West: Database tutorials & search tips

Short, simple how-to and demos of frequently asked questions about using the Libraries and information resources.  Includes:

• How do I request a book/article we don't have?
• How do I request materials using Interlibrary Loan?
• How do I connect Google Scholar with UW Libraries?
• How do I access resources from off-campus?

This is a pretty solid overview of what to consider when you're searching for material in library databases. 

One word of caution - the librarian mentions checking the "full-text" limiter, but UW Libraries often has full-text access that does not show up directly in the database.  Instead, try clicking the "Check for Full Text" button to see if we have full-text access through another vendor, publisher, or platform.

This Web of Science tutorial contains some useful tips that can be used in a variety of research databases, but also highlights features that Web of Science is known for including cited reference searching.
