What if UC does not have access to an article or resource I need?

• DON'T pay for articles - if we don't have access, we will get them for you through interlibrary loan. 

I'm getting an error message when I try to search the library databases.

• Often this is resolved by simply clearing your browser cache or trying a different browser. 
• If that doesn't solve the issue, try logging on to the VPN.

I'm having trouble finding articles on my topic.

• Remember, searching is an iterative process! Here are some basic tips to help:
  • Try synonyms for your keywords. For example, try using "unhoused" for "homeless".
  • Try a different database! UC subscribes to hundreds of databases, the information you are looking for might be in a database you haven't thought to search yet. Try a discipline specific database, like PsycINFO for psychology topics or CINAHL for nursing.
  • The general rule of thumb is to combine two to four keywords or phrases. Searching just "social media" is far too broad, combining that with other terms will ensure results are related to your topic. For example, "social media" AND "sexual assault" AND "survivors".
