Gale Power Search (previously Gale Database Articles or Gale Full Database List)

Click "advanced search."

Next to "By Document Type" select either "Cartoon" or "Editorial."

Set date to "After" Jan 1, 2008 (or whatever date your instructor told you).

Enter a search word, such as Iraq, Obama, Economy, etc.

NOTE: if searching for cartoons, look for the 'camera' icon on the right to see which cartoons actually have the image.

Notice the different results links on the left on the search result page: Magazines, Academic Journals, etc. (each link is a different set of results)

Note which database you article comes from - look for "From ______" on the search page (ex - From General One File)

Issues & Controversies

Under "Special Features," click "Editorial Cartoons & Questions."

Browse by topic -- some topics have more than one cartoon, make sure you only pick one!

Be sure to check the date hand-written on each cartoon!
