MAS database (Magazine Article Summaries)

To get to our databases in the library, you have to log in to our school website, then go to:
"libraries"
"Robert Young Libraries"
then click
"databases" on the left and you'll see them in alphabetical order.
Go to "MAS-Ultra" and you're there! 

Click on "advanced search" and then you can limit your search to the Economist magazine simply by typing "economist" where it says publication as seen below:

then type your search words in the main search box and go! 
After you search once, try clicking on "subject" on the left hand side of the screen - and limit your date range - to see if you get more specific results. 

By clicking on the subjects, you are telling the database to only show you articles that have been tagged with those subjects.  Changing your keywords will give you different subject tags...
