Welcome to EBSCO’s Conducting an Advanced Guided Style search on EBSCOhost tutorial. In this tutorial, we will look at conducting an
Advanced Search on EBSCOhost, using the Guided Style Find fields as well as applying limiters and expanders.
Guided Style searching allows you to simultaneously search for different terms in varying article citation fields. Begin by entering a
search term in the first Find field, and then select which field(s) to search from the drop- down list, such as Subject Terms.
Guide your search using a second term, such as a publication name and the SO Journal Name field. You may enter a third search term and
choose the All Text field to have EBSCOhost look within the full text of all articles for your term. Note, you can conduct command line
searches using the appropriate field tags, e.g., SO for Journal Name, in front of the search term in the Find field.
In the Search Options area, the Advanced Search Screen offers additional search limiters for increased result refinement. For example,
you can limit results to Full Text articles within a specified date range. Click Search to view the Result List.
A Result List is displayed and defaults to showing All Results. It is easy to limit your results using the limiters on the left. The Result
List can also be filtered to view results by source type, such as Academic Journals, Magazines, or Newspapers, by clicking the
checkboxes next to the desired source type. You can view your search terms, any applied limiters or expanders, and selected subject
terms above the limiters.
You can print, email, save, cite or export a single result from the Detailed Record when you click on a title link. To print, email, save, cite or
export multiple results, add them to the folder, then click the appropriate icon inside the folder. Folder contents can be saved by clicking on the
Sign In link, and then setting up a personalized (My EBSCOhost) folder account at no charge.
