How to Use Filters

In Discover Advanced you can find a few select filters beneath the search box, and  when you click "All Filters" a box with all filters opens to the right of the search results. Based on what you're looking for, and what may have appeared in earlier searches, you will want to click on one of the filters to find what's best for your research.


For example, if your professor told you you're only allowed to include sources from the past 15 years, you could could use "Custom Range" to set the publication date to 2009-2024. Or if you are looking for sources for a Spanish class, you can change the language to only include sources in Spanish. You can even limit the results to only include those that have the Full Text online so you can guarantee you'll be able to read it from anywhere.
