[ACBS] need help with a google search for english research paper

[Yvonne]

I did control F and then put in 1.
that generally got me to the first listing. Using the find (control F) was
also useful if I had to download an article and then go back to my search
results, cins they never seemed to go back to where I left off. So if I
remembered either the number or the article I could get back to where I was
in my search list. I hope that helps.
Yvonne

Hey Yvonne,
please explain when you say that you put in find<1. I am still trying to use
the databases from school but getting more frustrated by the minute!
Thanks,
Netta
