Useful things that i found out using Info Trac
Search words are highlighted in red. You can choose to print, email, download, and bookmark or share the article using the options in the Tools box on the right hand side of the screen. 

You have the option of specifying or the use of and, this i know as Boolean searching. By using this the results shown are magazine articles. However articles for other types of media, on the left hand side of the screen their are books, images, videos and audios. Its good to have these as you can compare all the documents you have researched. The good thing is the most most recent articles are displayed first.

 

Aswell as that you dont always have to print the articles. In the tool box, you can email articles to friends or yourself and download and save them to your documents.
