Choose Relevant Search Results

In order to tell if the search results are relevant to your topic, you need to look at the full record. Find the full record by clicking the title of the record in your search results.

For books, check for a table of contents or a summary. For articles, look for the abstract or a summary. If neither the table of contents or summary are available, then check the item or look for other details:

• Title of article: Is it about your topic?
• Date: Do you need current information on your topic?
• Subjects: Are the subjects listed relevant to your topic?
