When you search the databases, the first thing your eyes go to are the results. This makes sense. It's what you're looking for after all!

Nevertheless, make sure you look around the results page or the pages for a book or article you found. There may be tools to help you out.

Most databases have tools that can help you:

• Narrow results by publication year
• Limit to Full Text or Peer-Reviewed 
• Cite the paper or book in APA format
  (additional help can be found on the APA guide)
• Search within a specific publication
• & more!

Databases like Gale Opposing Viewpoints and Issues & Controversies also have a unique tool to help you find related resources for your topic. By using the "Browse Issues" tool in both databases, you can find resources all related to a specific controversy or current event in one location.
