Topic: Limiting by Language

Lesson

  • Language — To limit your sources to those written only in English or some other specified language, try:

    "gun control" AND la=English

    In this case, instead of writing the complete word "language" you can use the abbreviation "la." In some databases you may only need to type in "L" to denote language. Databases can also vary in what you need to type for the language, for example: "eng" for English, "ger" for German and so on. Be sure to check the help screen of the database you are using for the correct format.
