Library Tip of the Week: Pay attention to the subject headings or topic headings a database uses to describe the articles you like. These terms are useful as new search terms and you will look extra intelligent when you use them in your paper. (As long as you use them correctly.) For more tips, contact a librarian at http://www.wichita.edu/j/?2028

Library Tip of the Week: Renew library books online for additional time with your books. Find the "My Account" tab at the top of the page within the library catalog or go to http://libcat.wichita.edu/vwebv/login. You will see a list of library materials you have checked out with the date due and possibly the cost of overdue fines. Use the check boxes to select items to renew. Most library books can be checked out for four weeks and renewed twice for a total of 12 weeks. If this doesn't work, someone else may be waiting for it.

Library Tip of the Week: Many databases have features in the left column that help you create a more relevant list of articles. After you run a search, use the check boxes in the left column to limit your list to articles that include a specific subject or topic heading, a geographic location, type of publication (i.e., conference paper or journal article) and/or copyright date.
