• The optional asterisks(*) used in the search examples above will retrieve variants of search terms. Thus salar* will retrieve salary, salaries, salaried, etc.
• One can search for a particular publication, such as the Wall Street Journal (available online at UMSL through ABI/Inform only) by selecting the option from one of the pull-down menus at the right.

To find articles in Full-Text: If a database does not have the full-text of an article the (Article Linker) icon appears alongside the citations in your search results. Clicking this icon will let you:

1. Find the article in ANOTHER library database, else
2. If the article is not online in anyway gives you an option to search in the libraries' catalog. You will then copy down the journal's call number and location and find the article on the Libraries' shelves.
3. If the journal is not available at UMSL then provides a link to Submit an Interlibrary Loan Request. The article will be photocopied from another library and sent to you. You can also choose to see the article online by selecting "E-mail - Electronic Delivery" on the request form. Note: you will need to use your Student ID (not MyGateway ID) to login to the Interlibrary Loan request form.

BOOKS:
1. To find books on a given topic go to the UM-St. Louis Library Catalog and search by Subject, such as Older People (this is the Library of Congress subject heading for 'Aged').
2. You can also search by KeyWords, such as in the examples below:

   corporate culture  and   success*         (note the asterisk!) corporate culture  within 5   success*

Also search the MOBIUS catalog, which lets you get books from from over 60 academic institutions in Missouri! With MOBIUS you can easily have books sent to the Thomas Jefferson Library. Remember that UMSL is part of the MERLIN cluster.
