*Unique to Ebscohost's Econlit is the ability to search by classification code. The code, created by JEL organizes all economic knowledge. To use this feature, go to the advance search, then under field, look for CC.  Note: You will need to add a 0 (zero) at the end of the code.

 For example the CC for Gender is J16 - Economics of Gender; Non-labor Discrimination
