• Year Range
• Subject/Themes
• And more...

More Tips:

• start with reading the abstract first and decide if there is a possibility for use
• look at the subject headings for an article you are interested in and write down those terms for possible future searches
• limit or expand your search terms with AND, OR, NOT also known as the boolean operators
