Use the limiters.
Many databases, including the LibraryEngine, offer limiters. Use them to refine your search results.
![Page 18: Comp 252 for Bezdek Fall 16](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58ed8a0b1a28ab6f6a8b45bb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Where will you search? The Library Engine, another database, or the open web? Why did you make that choice?
![Page 19: Comp 252 for Bezdek Fall 16](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58ed8a0b1a28ab6f6a8b45bb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
LibraryEngine doesn’t search everything. Google only gives you 5% of what we have in our databases.•If you use LibraryEngine, you need to use limiters and a good search strategy with multiple keywords.
•Try a subject database. Some feed into LibraryEngine but not all.

Once you’ve found a few good sources, save them in EndNote.
1. Put them in your folder. Note: the folder will be empty once you leave the database. Use it or loose it.
2. Open the folder from the toolbar at the top of the database.
3. Export the folder’s contents to EndNote. You’ll need to create an account using your FLC login information.
