2. Each database has its own set of subject or topics. For example, "urban planning" and "city planning" are very similar, but return different results in the various databases. Use synonyms to narrow or alter your search.
3. Databases index a vast amount of information, some of which the library does not own. Click on the  icon to see if the library owns it digitally or in print. 
4. If you find a relevant article but want to keep searching, check the box next to the article to save it for later. You can check several to compile a list and email or print it once you are finished researching.
5. If you find an article the library doesn't own, you can get it through interlibrary loan, or travel to a library that owns the journal.
