Use the limiters.
Many databases, including the LibraryEngine, offer limiters. Use them to refine your search results.
![Page 20: Reed Library Comp 250 Presentation for Spring 2017](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042908/58ed898a1a28abdd4c8b4651/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Now YOU try.Find one article about your topic that interests you and put it in your folder.
![Page 21: Reed Library Comp 250 Presentation for Spring 2017](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042908/58ed898a1a28abdd4c8b4651/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Where will you search? The Library Engine, the catalog, another database, or the open web? Why did you make that choice?
![Page 22: Reed Library Comp 250 Presentation for Spring 2017](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042908/58ed898a1a28abdd4c8b4651/html5/thumbnails/22.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.
![Page 23: Reed Library Comp 250 Presentation for Spring 2017](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042908/58ed898a1a28abdd4c8b4651/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
If the book or article you want isn’t available,
we can get it for you.
