Search Scopes

The library search also uses "search scopes" that you can use to limit your search to a small selection of journals. Use this targeted search to explore a topic within a specific content area, grade level, or topic. It is similar to filtering by subject, but focuses on a small set of high quality journals. For example, looking for literacy strategies within elementary, or social emotional learning in science or math. Note that since these limit to a small set of journals you won't always find every topic. Remember to use the "All" setting to search the entire library.
