2. ACCESSING THE ACADEMIC PREMIER DATABASE
First access the website www.iue.edu/library/ Once there You will be met
by a Top Library Resources box. This is where we can access many
different databases. For this slideshow we will be using Acdemic Search
premier

3. THE ACTUAL DATABASE
After we click Academic Premier Database we are brought to
this page. This is the emat and potatoes of the database where
we search different things we are interested in.

4. SEARCHING FOR TERMS AND PHRASES
Since my topic is about shedding light on hedge funds and private equity firms. I chose
to search hedge funds. After typing in the words I am presented with 7,258 results that I
can see relating to my topic. As you can see I can also limit my searches to be more
specific on the left hand side to scale down what I looking for specifically.

5. CHOOSING AN ARTICLE
After I chose the second option, I was presented with this page. Here I can access
the full PDF version as well as all of the articles information as well to use for a
citation on my paper. If I scroll down more, I can see the absreact of the article.
Also, on the right hand side I have tools to print and cite and various other tasks that
are useful.

6. CONCLUSION
Overall this database gives us great reliable
sources to cite for our papers not only in this
class but others and all that we have in the
future.
The usefulness of this database goes beyond
what we need and involves us in the research of
our topics to whatever we need and when we
need it.
I will definitely be using this more for finding
future articles in my time here at IUE .
