A professor at Brock studies the plant Madagascar Periwinkle as a way of investigating the synthesis of natural products for medical research. How can I find peer-reviewed recent articles on this topic for a lab report? Looking for a good article on the teaching strategies of mathematics to secondary school students with autism for a seminar in 15 minutes. Canadian engagement at Vimy Ridge was a defining moment in Canadian history. Why is this so and can you help me find magazine and scholarly articles on this? Looking at gender bias of women in Canadian politics since world war two. Where can I start to look? How is this topic covered in the news?

- 15. What does SuperSearch include? Exclude? Good for? What makes it super?
- 16. It's almost unknowable. All of our Ebsco databases contribute metadata. We also include a number of other indexes from other providers. The fly in the ointment is the central index that Ebsco has created but has no title list. This index isn't searchable by any other means so it's impossible to know what's in it but it's big; much bigger than e.g. Academic Search Complete. From what I understand (and remember - it's been a long time since I last looked into it) it's mostly skeletal metadata (title, author, etc.) directly from publishers. Ian[2]

Ten database questions everyone should ask! 1. where is the help screen? 2. how to use AND, OR and NOT 3. how to refine / broaden / limit search results by keyword(s), language, format, date… 4. using truncation and phrase searching 5. putting articles in folders 6. citing references 7. sending results by email 8. exporting results to citation management systems e.g. Zotero 9. finding full-text of articles 10. what other database(s) should I use next…
