Q. Whenever I search in the databases I get all sorts of very technical, high-level articles. Is there a way to just limit to popular sources, such

Yes, there is! In most of our databases, you can refine your search in the database by source type. Each database is a little different where you would do this, but look on either the right side or left side of your results page. More popular sources are generally listed as magazines, so check that option, and make sure peer-reviewed and journal articles are not selected.
