Database tips

1. Did you know that once you have retrieved an article in a database that the article can be e-mailed?. This may be particularly useful if a student has accessed articles in the library and has no money for printing. These can be e-mailed fulltext ,citation only. or citation and abstract. E-mailing of these articles can be carried out on all PCs, not just the e-mail PCs.
2. Some databases i.e.- ANZ ref, Masterfile and General Onefile offer translation of search fields in another language . Click on Language tab or preferences.
3. Click on "New features" tab for changes to EBSCO databases. Learn about their enhanced search features and one step alerts.
