Tips
When starting your search, try to limit your search to Full-text articles (look for a box to check off).
In the search boxes:
- Try your most important term in the first search box eg. Special Education
- Your secondary term in the second search box eg. Autism
- The school level in the third box eg. Elementary or Secondary
You don’t have to use all three boxes; if you are not getting many hits try leaving the third box blank.
When you get your search results click on the PDF fulltext or HTML fulltext icon to access the complete article.
