Interlibrary Loan (outside CUNY) for Books & Journal Articles
This document provides information on using AND and OR to improve your search. It also provides tips on phrase searching using quotation marks.
The videos below have been created to help you be able to identify appropriate databases and search techniques to search for articles on your research topics. There is also information on how to sign up for an Illiad (Inter Library Loan) account so you can request articles not available in our databases. As Lehman students you should be able to access the articles you need without paying a fee.
Good luck with your research. Feel free to email me (alison.lehnerquam@lehman.cuny.edu) with any questions.
The video below, "Searching Databases with Keywords" provides helpful strategies for using keywords in your searches.
The Research Guide has a list of databases in the Find Journals and Articles section that are useful for research about organizational leadership.

Learn about how to do advanced searching in the EBSCO subject databases by accessing the subject databases in the EDOL 911 and 912 Research Guide, combining subject databases, and using AND and OR to create powerful searches.

When you access Google Scholar from a Lehman site (e.g. Library website, Research Guide) you'll have links to resources in the Lehman Subject Databases. This will give you many Lehman resources in one search. Watch this video for more information on ways to use Google Scholar to support your research.
Many of the databases and discovery tools have ways for researchers to get alerts about new articles on your research topic. This video highlights the search alert function in the EBSCO databases (e.g. Education Source, Business Source Complete, SocINDEX with Full Text) and in Google Scholar.
The Citation Chaining video offers two ways to follow the scholarly conversation on a topic, one moving backward from a citation to follow the references in the article's bibliography and the other, moving forward from a citation to follow those who have cited that article. This video shows you how to do both methods with Lehman resources.
