library database search tip

patron comes up and goes, "do you want to see an example of a rude library patron?"  then he opens up scientific american mind and a whole article is ripped out.  so i try to find the article online.  on the cover of the mag there's a reference to the article he wants, so i type those words in a search engine and get a page where they want you to pay for it.  then i look in the library magazine database OneFile and nothing.  huh.  i look in the contents to find the article title, type it in and soon find the full article for free.  moral of the story--tinker around when you're looking for library stuff :o)
