Searching for articles using Find it! also has lots of benefits:
- Allows for searching across journals and other materials arranged around related subjects and themes.
- Quickly search for items by subject headings or descriptors to allow for more targeted results.
- Advanced search screens allow for combining multiple search terms using AND, OR, NOT for better results
- Can often combine databases to allow keyword searching across more than one discipline
