ENG 107: College Writing (Duncan): Finding Academic Sources

Use UP Library Search to find books, streaming videos, online resources, journal articles, and much more (Search Tips). Need help? See handouts for Finding Books on the Shelf and Requesting Clark Library and Summit Items online.

Enter each of your search terms into a separate search box.

This combines your search terms with AND (so that all words are included but the words don't have to be next to each other)

Searching Tips:

Use * to look for different spellings/variations of a word:

consumer* will find any word that starts with "haunt," including: haunt, haunting, haunted, hauntology...

Use " " to keep 2 or more words together as a phrase

"Black Mirror"

Use the Limits to narrow or improve your search, in particular:

• Peer Reviewed (for scholarly journal articles)
• Publication Date (for more current literature)

Look at the subject headings for words that match your search terms. Note that this search for postcolonialism includes subject headings for both "postcolonialism" and "postcolonial approach."

You could search for both variations of this word by changing your search term to: postcolonial*.
