To limit or not to limit?

The most efficient way to search is

usually to begin by limiting to Full-Text articles only. That way you know you will have access to all the articles you

find.

If you do not find enough articles, broaden your search by removing the limit to full-text, and/or by changing your search terms to something less specific.
