Building your queries
Again, go straight to the Advanced Search page. Like FindArticles, you can
pick publications to search. Unfortunately, you can include or exclude only
ive publications at a time. Note that you can also include or exclude certain
types of information, such as newspapers, images, books, transcripts, maps,
and so on, rather than choosing from categories of information, such as
health, business, sports, and the like ( Figure 7.11 ).
Figure 7.11 highBeam lets you search not only by speciic articles, but also by publication type.
Unless you're researching a very unusual topic, you can safely leave out the
maps. he almanacs and dictionaries are questionable as well.
hint
check out the Web search. highBeam offers a research group op-
tion, which lets you set up a speciic set of resources that you want
to search. at irst glance, the available resources don't look like a lot,
until you realize that you have the opportunity to choose aggregate
sources like google news, and very large sources like pr newswire.
check the sources here and see if they'd be useful to you.
