e-Journal Tips Double check in eJournal list Even if you know we have a journal Don’t always get from Publisher Example: Lancet through ScienceDirect not at Lancet.com If the list says we have access to something and you can’t get it –contact me - I will investigate. Double check the eJournals list if the link within a database doesn’t work

Boolean Nesting When using 2 different commands (AND, OR, NOT) in 1 search statement, use parentheses to clarify your intent: (Medicare OR medicaid ) AND pharmacies (Medicaid NOT Florida) AND pharmacies Do not do this: (medicare AND aged) OR pharmacies You will get the world of articles on pharmacies not related to medicare and the aged.
