One of the important elements you should have noted is a date.  Victoria Blanco methodically records dates within her story. 

  1. Once you do your search limit by date, on the left hand side.  The date should be within three years of the event.  ex. NAFTA, 1994.  Articles should be between 1991 and 1997.
  2. Look through the results list.  Which article can help you to learn more about your topic?
  3. Click on the title of that article.
