Search Tips
Some tips for searching:
- Do not put complete sentences (like you would in a search engine) into library search boxes
- Put your search terms in one word at time
- That way if your search does not provide any results you know which term to take out
- You are not likely to find an article that describes exactly what you are looking for
- The whole point of research is to take information from multiple sources to formulate your own argument!
- If you do not find what you are looking for in one database try another one
- Different databases do not always have the same resources
- When all else fails the librarians are here to help!
