Now the box will have a checkmark in it, as above.

6.  Type in your search terms!

a. Type in kinesiology in the first box, and change the search type from "Select a Field" to "SU Subject Terms."

 

b.  Then put another search term in the second box. For this second box, change the search type from "Select a Field" to "SU Subject Terms." (I've listed some sample search terms in the box to the right.  You can use any term you like, the terms in the box are just some examples.)

 

HOWEVER, if you don't get enough results, then change the search type in the second box back to "Select a Field."

 

c. Also, you can always add a third term in the next box if you get too many results.

 

7.  If you press the green Search button now, you will get magazine articles, newspaper articles, and professional journal articles. 

If you wished, you could limit your results to  professional journals.  If you want to do this, scroll down to the "Limit" section again, and this time checkmark "Scholarly (Peer Review) Journals."  Then after you press the Search button, your results will all be articles from journals.
