Database Guide: Proquest Research Library Plus  Tags: proquest database database_guide  

Step 1: When you leave the drop-down menu selection on 'Citation and abstract', you are searching for your terms as keywords in all those parts of the article's record. Use this stretegy when you are beginning your research.

Step 2: Use Subject from the drop-down menu after you verify that your term is indeed used as an "official" subject in this database. Since we see 'Genetically altered foods'" in the 'Suggested Topics' list at the bottom of your results page (and also in the list of Subjects in the article citation after we clicked on the article's title), we know it's an "official" subject.

Browse the other options available in the drop-down menus adjacent to the search boxes. Use the appropriate ones to limit your search, such as company, location, or person. You can use publication title if you want to limit your search to one particular journal.
