Advanced Searching on EBSCOhost - TutorialOur most popular digital resource! FC Library also offers students access to more than fifty databases via EBSCO. The EBSCO databases represent the most heavily-used digital resources offered by FC Library. I do not recommend that students conduct searches using the drop-down menu field “SU Subject Terms” in EBSCO. Searching the abstract will generally yield better results, because “AB Abstract” searches the description of the piece – the abstract – for the word(s) entered in the search box. If search results are not helpful, then the student should expand the search to include the entire text of the document by selecting the field “TX All Text.” Or, the student might try to search using different search terms and/or different search strategies.
