TIPS AND TRICKS

1) LEARN TO SEARCH BY DATE RANGE TO LOCATE CONTEMPORARY SOURCES IN DATABASES BY USING THE CUSTOM DATE RANGE FILTER (Elizabethan Era is roughly 1558 - 1603; Renaissance Era is roughly 1450 - 1650)

2) CONSIDER YOUR SEARCH TERMS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE "Elisabeth literature"

"Elizabethan literature" or "women and social class and Elisabethan era" as examples

3) REMEMBER TO LOG INTO DATABASES ANY TIME YOU ARE WORKING OFF CAMPUS WITH A LIBRARY RESOURCE. See off campus access info below
