How best to use "Browse", "Quick Search" and "Advanced Search", as well as understand fully the results pages

Browse

• If you want to view a list of the journals you currently have access to...
  Simply select the Browse tab and check the "My subscribed journals" radio button then select "Journal Title" from the Browse by options and click "Browse" to list the journals.
• If you know the title of the journal that contains the article you want to access or if you are looking to view the latest content of a journal you subscribe to...
  Simply select the browse tab and check the "All Journals" or the "My Subscribed Journals" radio button as appropriate. Select the journal from the alphabetical links and then select the issue you require. You will then see a list of the articles contained within that issue.
• If you want to browse by subject to find an article...
  Simply check the "Subject" radio button and browse, you will be presented with the full list of our subject headings and you click through to the journals that pertain to that subject and select the journal that suits your needs.

Quick Search and Advanced Search

Quick Search

• If you want to find articles on a given subject...
  If you are looking for articles on a given subject area, use Quick Search and search against All Fields (excluding full text) to bring back the most results. Searching All Fields (including full text), will retrieve more results, but they are less likely to meet your needs.

Advanced Search

• If you want to be restrictive in your searching...
  You can use Advanced Search for more restrictive searches. For example, if you know the name of an author of an article, but are not sure of the exact article title, you could enter the authors name in the "Author(s)" field and a couple of words from the title in the "Article Title" field. This should locate the article for you.
