19. Print journals Sometimes the print journal will share a record with the e-journal. Click on “Find it in Library” for details. Sometimes the print journal will have its own record. Again click on “Find it in Library”.

20. Search tips Sign in with EASE – essential to access some full text resources Use facets to refine your search – useful if too many results are given Select “Advanced Search” - to search for items by title, author or series Select “eJournals A-Z” – if searching only for online journals Continue to use the Library’s A-Z of databases for literature reviews (e.g. Historical Abstracts, L’Annee Philologique) and searching for primary historical sources (e.g. Mass Observation Online) – www.ed.ac.uk/is/library-databases www.ed.ac.uk/is/library-databases

21. Requesting material from the Library Annexe To request to borrow an item from the Library Annexe use the “Request” links given in “Find it in Library” tab. These request links will only appear if you are signed in to DiscoverEd. You can choose what Library site the item is delivered to. Remember if it is a journal or multi-volume book series to indicate on form what volume or issue you require. You can also request a scan of journal article or book chapter, rather than asking to borrow whole volume or book, by submitting a request (intrall) via ILLiad. Link for this appears in the “Details” tab.

23. Export, print and email Export results/references to reference management software e.g. EndNote, Zotero, etc. Use the “Actions” menu to export individual references To export multiple references save them to e-shelf first and then export from there. Print or email results Use the “Actions” menu to print or email individual references To print or email multiple references save them to e-shelf first and then print/email from there.

24. Expand your search to beyond the library’s collections By default DiscoverEd is searching resources we have access to However, you can choose for your search to look through even more resources To do this, first perform your search and then tick the box next to “Expand results beyond Library Collections” on left-hand menu Your number of results will increase But you will find material that the Library does not have access to
