Let's look for articles on college sports.
Because college sports is our main topic, we want to make sure it appears in either the article's title, citation, or abstract, so we will select the "in title, citation, abstract" radio button. (See Figure 2)

Figure 2

The search located over 3,000 citations or articles where "college sports" appears in either the title, citation, or abstract. The first result is listed below in Figure 3.

For each entry the article's title, author (if applicable), publication name, publication date, and page number information, and the full text, abstract, or citation are provided.
