 Welcome to the Exploring Articles Plus tutorial. In this video, you will learn how to optimize your search through Articles Plus by utilizing search terms and filters. At Ohio University Libraries homepage, you will see that Articles Plus is the default search engine, and it provides access to hundreds of millions of articles, newspapers, books, media, and more. The basic search tool is great if you have the exact title of an item or the exact spelling of the author's name. If you are researching a topic, however, it is better to start with an advanced search which is found below the magnifying glass on the homepage. On the advanced search page, you will see three separate boxes linked together with the word and which is followed by a list of search options. Let's begin a search on the following topic. The effects of sleep habits on the well-being of college students. The first step is to identify relevant, core ideas of your topic which are college students, well-being, and sleep habits. Place each of these concepts into the search cells provided. Articles Plus will provide synonyms for the concepts you write and they will be linked together with or which will broaden the search results. For example, type in college students and Articles Plus will suggest college students or university students or undergraduates. Entering well-being into the second search box will prompt a long list of synonyms for well-being such as life satisfaction or happiness or life quality. And sleep habits becomes sleep habits or sleep patterns. Now that we have the new search terms, click the green search button. Over a thousand results will appear which you can narrow down by using the Refine Results tool on the left hand side of the page. You can limit the results quickly by selecting whether the items are available online, in print, or through a scholarly journal. Results can also be refined by date, resource type, subject, and more. Let's select available in print or online, adjust the year to 2017, and select academic journals. A good way to focus your research from there is to filter by subject. Select show more. There, you will see a list of subjects that relate to our topic. For now, let's go with anxiety. Articles Plus automatically removes any duplicate articles. So in just a few short steps, results have been reduced from well over a thousand to less than twenty. To save or share the final list of the research articles, select the share drop-down menu at the top right. There, you can email the results or copy a permalink to the completed search. The next tutorial will cover how to find Books Analysis, Ohio University's online catalog, and OhioLink, a consortium of 100 libraries across Ohio. This concludes the Exploring Articles Plus tutorial.
