Databases:

 * ====**Use limit options with caution! Limit by date and language where appropriate.** Other limiters will confine your result lists to particular journal groups or other constraints that may be arbitrary depending on your topic. In general, it is best to use multiple search strategies: broad & narrow key words and search terms, with and without limit options applied.====
 * ====Try some of the "Tips" listed below, but be sure to try alternate searches as well.====
 * ===Search in Medline, then use Journal Finder to locate text if necessary ===
 * ====ALL of the journals listed above are INDEXED in Medline, but the full text does not always reside in that database. **If you limit your Medline search to full text, you will NOT find articles published in most of the journals listed above**.====
 * ====Tip: Click //Publications// at the top of the Medline search page to search for journal titles. Check the box and //Add// each title to your search box, then click //Search// to see the search result list. From there, you can add key words to your search to find them within the journal titles you've selected.====
 * ====Tip: Use //Age Related// limiters (Ctrl + click to make multiple selections) to specify the age of the patients/subjects of the study====
 * ====**CINAHL**====
 * ====Tip: try some searches with the limit //Special Interest: Gerontologic Care//, but remember that Ursuline does not subscribe to the full text of all the journals in that subset (about 50%)====
 * ====FYI - Ursuline DOES have full-text subscriptions to more than 90% of the journals included in the //Journal Subset: Core Nursing//====
 * ====**PubMed**====
 * ====Tip: Click **//Limits//** and select //Ages// (check multiple boxes to encompass patient age ranges) and //Language// "English"====
