| Evaluating
the full record
You
will need to view the full record to evaluate the information. For
example, if you were interested in #9, you would select that record.
Below is the full record display for #9.
The information in the Abstract and Subject fields should help you decide
whether this article is relevant to your topic. Also note the date and
title of the periodical (listed under "Source") to see if the material
is appropriate for your information needs.
| Notice
the subject headings ("Descriptors", circled in purple) for this item which indicate the major topics covered
in this article. |
| If
your topic was "deforestation", this article might NOT be relevant.
"Deforestation" is mentioned in the abstract but is not a major subject ("Descriptors")
covered in this article. |

These subject headings can also prove useful in refining a search. Because they are the major terms the database uses, searching by them in a subject field-limited search will help focus your search on the items where your topic is a major concern.
