Welcome to EBSCO’s Basic Searching on EBSCOhost tutorial. In this tutorial, we will look at conducting
a search from the Basic Search screen of EBSCOhost.
We’ll begin by conducting a Basic Search on global warming. Enter your search terms and click Search.
Or you can view available limiters and expanders by clicking on Search Options.
Under the Search Options, it is easy to limit or expand your search results. You can choose from one of the
available Search Modes and depending upon the databases you have chosen, you may see the ability
to limit a search by Full Text articles, Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals, or a particular publication
that you enter in the field provided. After applying limiters and expanders, click Search.
A Result List is displayed and defaults to showing All Results. It is easy to limit your results using the
limiters under Refine your results 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 and clicking Update.
You can print, email, save, cite or export a single result from the Detailed Record when you click on an
article 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 permanently saved by clicking on the
Sign In link, and then setting up a personalized My EBSCOhost folder account at no charge.
At any time, click the Help link to view the complete online Help system.
