Limiters in Pirate Search

Some of the limiters you can use in Pirate Search are:

• Full-text: Only full-text results, eliminating content that has been indexed by the publisher but isn't available through Park's subscriptions
• Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed Journals: Only content from academic journals in which the content has undergone peer-review, which is review by other scholars in the field.
• Publication date: Only material published within a certain time-frame
• Source type: Allows you specify the type of material or the format.  You can request only books, eBooks, news articles, academic articles and more depending on your information needs.
• Language: Only material produced in a certain language.  Be aware that the library and databases can't offer translation services, so you'll need to be able to read and understand the resources that you find!
• Publisher: Only bring back material from certain databases.  This is useful if your professor has assigned specific databases for you to use.
• And more...
