Usually keywords
are used to search in A&I databases. Your
search results normally will include：article title,
author(s), source (journal title, volume, issue,

In addition to keyword
search，you may also browse journal content issue
by issue in this kind of databases. Full-text
articles are available online. However, the accessibility
to online full-text still depends on whether the
content has been digitalized or not, as well as
the library’s subscriptions.
