Guide with links to resources for those participating in the ISU Master of Professional Practice in Dietetics

Tutorials

Search Tips

Use "and", "or" to link concepts:

  • (chocolate OR cacao) AND (health OR nutrition)

Use quotation marks if searching for an exact phrase:

  • licorice AND "blood pressure"

Truncate search terms if appropriate. Adding an * at the end of a word will search for alternate word endings. For example, clon* will retrieve cloning, clone, clones, clonal.


The ISU Library provides access to almost 500 article databases. If you are not finding articles on your topic using these databases, use the "Articles & Databases" link at the bottom of the page...and/or contact your librarian for search terms or database advice.

For PubMed, before clicking on the database name below, login to your ISU Library account using Library Account (link is also in the upper right corner of ISU Library website). Once you have done this, it will recognize you as a valid ISU user and enable the full-text links for articles...until you close your browser window.

Note that terminology for ISU Library syncing with Google Scholar search results has changed from "GetIt@ISU" to "ViewIt@ISU".
