| Database Search Tip | Use the "Record Type" search limits to target specific information. For example, if you would like to know more about Hamlet as a character, search for Hamlet using the "Character Profile" limit. The "Essay Reviews" limit will lead you to articles about variations on Hamlet, written by other authors, as well as other critical analyses of Shakespeare's Hamlet. |
| Notes | This database is entirely full text so there is no need to limit your results to items owned by ECSU. In fact, if you do, your search will be misleading and result in zero hits. |
