Controlled Vocabulary: Discover the search terms unique to each database for subject searching.
Limiters/Expanders: Learn about all the many methods to narrow or broaden searches.
Cited References: Find out just how much influence an author or article has had in their field.
Alerts: Produce reminders for the latest issues of your favorite journals and rerun searches for long-term research.
Once you learn about all these features, you’ll never know how you did research without them!
