Evaluate your results (revise your search if needed) and select appropriate articles
How many results are found? Did you get too few? Too many? Do the titles seem relevant to your topic?
You can see subjects assigned to the articles and you can add or remove them, or amend your entire search with words from article abstracts, subject headings, and titles. Watch how the changes affect the number of results and how relevant they are.
How do you know whether an article is scholarly or not? Check out the Scholarly Journal v. Popular Magazine Articles guide.
Obtain citation information and either print or save the articles selected. In some databases you can get help with citation formatting.
In Research@UWW and in some other databases, e.g., Ebscohost databases, you can save articles and/or searches to your account. If you do not login to an account, saving only lasts during your current session. If you have an account the saved materials will be there the next time you login.
(optional): Run your search in other databases for additional results
In many cases you can just copy and paste a search from one database into another, e.g., copy a search used to search Ebscohost databases into ProQuest ABI/Inform (a business article database).

We strongly encourage that you search for books, media and more using the library catalog (Research@UWW), or search for specific journal subscriptions using the Journals search.
