How to Search Academic Search Complete

Type your search words into the provided search boxes in Academic Search Complete.

Next, on the lower part of the search screen, there are features to help you limit/modify your search. For example, if you check the box Full Text, your search will return full-text articles, (i.e., articles that you can read onscreen, e-mail to yourself, or print out immediately.)

If you want to limit your search to scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals only, then you can check that box as well. 

After you have made your selection(s), your next step is to click “search” or hit “enter” key.

Then, in the list of search results, click on an article title that interests you. 

Read the abstract, or summary, of the article.

If you think the article is one you want to print, save, or email to yourself, then look for a link(s) on the page labeled HTML Full Text or PDF Full Text

Click on a full-text link to open the full-text of the article. You can then print, email, or read the article.
