Steps for using an online database
 
Step 1
Open Helmke Home page
(click here)
The page that opens should look like this:
Step 2

Open Databases and Indexes page
(middle of light blue bar)
The page that opens should look like this

Step 3
Open "Humanities" page
(2nd row down in table)
The page that opens should look like this. Click on the first database listed - Academic Search Premier (EBSCOhost)
Step 4
You will be asked to log in with your student account info if you are working off-campus; then the page should look like this:
Step 6
Press on "EbscoHost Web"
The page that opens should look like this
Step 7
Here we have several choices, but for today's exercise we'll just use the Masterfile Premier database that is already checked. So just click on enter.
The page that opens should look like this
Step 8
For this exercise, type in exactly political correctness and check on the box that says "Full Text." Press "search." This should give you more than 500 documents. The screen should look this this. Now, go about two-thirds up the page and you will see a blue circle with a right arrow triangle in it - press here to go to the next page, and check entry #12, "Culture Vultures". Now go back up to the right arrow and click on the numbers until you get to page 9 - check box #84, "Conservative Law Students." 
Don't be alarmed if you don't get exactly these results. Just play with this and have a little fun!
Step 9
Now go two-thirds up the page and you'll see an oblong blue button that says "print." Press here. The page should look like this.
Step 10
Make sure button is checked that says "citation and formatted text." Now press on oblong blue button that says "print." The screen should look somewhat like this. (Both articles will be here, scroll down to see if you have the right ones.)
Step 11
Okay, that's it. Just go to your BROWSER print icon and print the document!
You can follow this same procedure to access the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center - when you get the "Humanities" page open, just scoll down until you find it..
