  18. Example Full Text available

  19. Searching tips: Expand your search • Use “expanders” from the database search screen to expand your search • Use Boolean operator “OR” to include more search terms e.g. Second language learning or english as second language or esl • Use truncation (*) to expand your search term in alternative way e.g. learn* to search for learning, learns, learner, etc.

  20. Searching tips: Narrow your search • Use “Limiter” from the database search screen to limit your search results in various way • Consider the suggested “Narrow Search Results by Subject” from the search result screen • Use Boolean operator “AND” to limit search results to a narrower scene e.g. peer assessment AND higher education
