Andersen Library subscribes to over 200 databases to provide indexing and full text access to periodicals that support the department curricula. For a complete listing visit Databases A-Z.

Here are some search tips to remember when searching the databases.

1. Be sure to mark the "peer reviewed" or "scholarly" limit when searching for peer reviewed articles.

2. Use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "health education", "type II diabetes")

3. Use the word "AND" between different concepts.

4. Use the word "OR" between similar concepts.

5. A common truncation symbol in the databases is the asterisk symbol *. Using this will allow you to search for various forms of the word in one step. For example, strateg* will search for strategy, strategies, strategize, and strategic.

Here are some example searches:

• ("experimental methods" or "nontraditional education" or "experimental teaching") and autism
• (treatment* or strateg* or approach* or method*) and "Prader Willi Syndrome"
• "health education" and (certif* or credent*)
