7. Using limits to narrow a search
Using limits narrows a search and decreases search results. Searches may be limited by publication year, publication type, language, location, age groups, and material format. Limiting options vary from database to database. It is a good idea to apply limit options one at a time. Remember! The more limits you apply, the more you decrease your search results (demo: team teaching search in ERIC).
