Simplify Your Search Terms
- Simply your search:
- Strip away some of the extraneous terms provided by the MLA database.
- This will increase results because the database does not have to match as many terms.
Limit the Search to Full-Text Articles Only
- Click "Full text" in the left margin of the search screen:
Success: Improved Results with Significantly More Full Text Links
- Notice: there are two icons for full text:
- PDF or HTML
- The full text for these items reside in the MLA Bibliography Database.
- Notice, though, that some citations have an orange button telling you to "Find Full Text."
- This means that you will link to the full text in one of the Library's large, full journal repositories such as JSTOR or Proquest Central.
