Fun with Filters: Learning to Take Advantage of the “Filter My Results” Options in OneSearch

When: TBA
Where: North Hall Library, Room 210

Learn to focus your search more precisely by understanding and using filters!  Database filters like those available in research tools such as OneSearch allow you to hone your search and obtain more relevant results. They also offer ways to critically evaluate your preliminary research by introducing you to additional subject terms or offering you other pathways to follow which may help you to eliminate false leads while also making your search results more manageable.
