Ways to narrow your results:

• limit to certain years only at beginning of search (e.g. last 10 years)
• add another concept to your search using "and" (e.g. elderly and housing and well-being)
• limit your results to scholarly or peer-reviewed journal articles only
• mark (tag) the most relevant articles in your search results and create a smaller list of titles

Ways to expand your results:

• add synonyms using "or" (e.g. elderly or older adults)

You can use the Library's Catalog Advanced Search to find articles on your topic in the WMU collection.

If you want peer-reviewed articles or articles limited by a specific date range, or limited to a specific subject (topic, discipline), filter boxes are located on the left column. Then select the green filter button to filter your search. Library Search is interdisciplinary and will search all disciplines. In many cases, using an interdisciplinary search you will discover articles from subject areas you find valuable but had not considered prior to the search. That’s a good thing!
