At the search Screen, please do not bother about entering your Profile Number and Password or creating and saving a Profile, until you actually want to order an article. Just press the Search Uncover Now button.

You will be sent to the beginning Search Screen, where you will need to complete the following steps:

• First of all, you need to select which database you want to search. The full UnCover Database or UnCover Express, a companion database that solely indexes all UnCover articles available in one hour. If you use UnCover Express and do not find what you need, use the Back button on your Web browser to return to the Search Screen to re-execute your search in the full UnCover database. If you use UnCover Express, you will be able to search only by topic or author name.
• Second, you will need to select your Search Type. In the full UnCover database, you can search by topic, by author name, or by journal title.
• You will then need to select the Number of Records to Display. The automatic default is 10.
• Finally, you will need to type in the Search Term and then click on the "Enter" button.

• At the next screen, you can view information about any article by clicking on the highlighted text for the item .

If you perform a Journal Title Browse from the Search Screen, you will have the opportunity to view screens that display individual issue contents.

• After following the steps mentioned above (select the journal title browse for Search Type), you will be sent to a screen that provides an alphabetical list of titles.
• If the title you are browsing for, is in UnCover, it will be the first title listed.
• Click on the highlighted title. You will be sent to a screen that provides summary information about the title.
• At the top of the page, click on the button labeled "Issues."
• At the next screen, click on any of the highlighted line numbers for issue contents
