    Search Strategies

    Use the search term FRANCE (or other Francophone country or city) as a "Subject Term."

    Add other terms such as ECONOMICS, MUSIC, TRAVEL, or whatever topic you need, in a second search box.

    Want to read the article in French?  Many database articles in HTML format have a translate feature.

    CFCC databases also a few contain select articles on various topics originally written in French as well as articles in English about French topics. Be aware, however, that most scholarly articles are presented in PDF format, which will not work with a text translator.

    One possible strategy to get a machine translation is to download the PDF document, copy the text you need, then paste that text into Google Translate
