You can narrow your results using operators (e.g. AND, OR, NOT, *), left side bar options, or specify your search with Advanced search.

For print materials, an item's location is included in its record. To see if the item is on the shelf or checked out by someone else, click on its title and then on In catalog – see an example.

When going through the list of items retrieved by NTK's Discovery Tool, pay attention to the names of content providers and individual journals. If you see a pattern of documents relevant to your topic occurring from a specific provider or particular journal, you can also search within these to get even better search results.
