To find articles about genetic or chromosomal abnormalities, search the library databases.
What is a library database?
A library database is a collection of different sources such as magazine, newspaper, and journal articles, ebooks, streaming videos, and images. You can find all these sources by searching with keywords. If you are off campus, you will be prompted to login to the databases with your MEID and password.
Search Tips
Searching library databases is different than searching Google. Databases deliver the best results when you search using specific keywords or short phrases into the search box rather than full sentences or questions. Use AND to connect 2 or more different keywords. Quotations around two or more words will find the exact phrase.
Brainstorm a few different keywords that relate to the topic you are researching. Use OR to connect 2 or more synonyms or related terms. Try a few searches with different keywords to get different results.
Refine Your Results
In most databases, the results page gives you options to further refine the list of results (look to either the left or right side of the page). These options include Full Text, published date, document type, etc.
