Search tips:

1. Use common language rather than academic terms for searching

2. Limit your search terms to a particular field, such as the headline or first paragraph, if full-text searching is retrieving too many results

3. Use date limits, as appropriate

4. Combine topic search terms with a newspaper section search to find editorials or letters to the editor
