Sometimes you may find that you get only a few results when searching. This can happen for many reasons. One step would be to reach out to me via email for assistance (angela.cox@uni.edu). One thing you could try first, is to think of synonyms of your search terms and use the word OR to separate your terms. This will tell the database to return any return results with any one of those terms. See the example below.
Sometimes you may find that you get too many results when searching. One thing you can do is to use the word AND to combine terms. This will tell the database that both terms must show up in your results. See the example below.
Within the database, look for the 'Publication Date' section, where you can set your publication date, which you will need to do depending on whether or not you are looking for your historical (Pre-2015) or contemporary (post-2015) source. Below, I've shown you how you can set it for the historical source. I chose an arbitrary year (1950) as the starting date.
