Search Tips

SEARCHING HACK: When looking for journal articles, search for your topic using key words based on your area of focus. Take advantage of the different search boxes in the Advanced Search menus to maximize your results. 

Examples:

Image of RIPM Jazz Periodicals search with the words 'ragtime AND chicago'

Image of Musical Periodicals search with terms jazz AND culture

***Note that the * in the second search is a wildcard search and finds results with any of the word endings of cultur* including culture, cultural, or cultures. This is helpful for finding any possible subject headings in this area. The * wildcard search works in many major databases.
