Standard Search Techniques

Each database's interface looks a little different. But there are similar search techniques you can use:

Enclose phrases in quotation marks: "indigenous scholarship"
Use * (or sometimes ! or ?) to truncate words: hawaii* searches for hawaii, hawaiian, hawaiians
Re-sort search results if needed: by Relevance, or Most Recent First.
Note Export, E-Mail or Print features, and Previous Search buttons.

Can't Find It Online?

If the index you're using doesn't seem to have a link to full text, try these steps:

Look for the Find It box. Clicking on that will launch a search through all of our online content.
If it's still not found online, check our library to see if we have a paper subscription to the journal. Search Hawaii Voyager, and use the "Journal Title Begins With" search option.
If all of that fails, and if you have time, ask us to get a copy of it for you from another library.
