| Special Features | FULLTEXT@WTAMU Links directly to the item inside WTAMU's paid database subscriptions. One or more links below each citation supply special features.
"Cited by #" links to # of sources citing the item. "View as HTML" converts pdf text to web viewable text. "Web search" links to a regular Google search. "Find text at WTAMU" links to an SFX popup window that will search the Cornette Library Catalog or create an Interlibrary Loan request. |
| Additional Search Tips | To search specifically for an author, use the format author:"j smith" or author:smith. The "Advanced Search Page" allows greater specificity. Words can be searched as exact phrase, without a specific word, in specific publications, with specified authors, and within a specified time frame. Google Scholar will also search within subject areas. Using a + in front of a common word (such as the, and, or) makes sure the term is included in the results. Using a - in front of a term excludes items containing the word |
| On Campus Access | No restrictions |
| Off Campus Access | Link above is restricted to WTAMU students, faculty and staff. The general Google scholar search is freely available, but contains far fewer full-text links. |
