Author and Journal Title Searching
• Author searching is performed by typing in the author’s last name, followed by the first and middle initials, and then selecting AU (author) field from the pull-down menu.
• Journal title searching is performed by typing in the journal title abbreviation, or the full journal title, and then selecting the SO (journal title) field from the pull-down menu.
After these initial search steps, limits can then be selected just as in KW searching.
