GENERAL SEARCH TIPS FOR SEARCH ENGINES AND DATABASES

Remember the following when searching in any database:

  • Always choose "Advanced Search"

  • Sort Keywords by date or relevance

  • Search for your topic "+" focus (what you want to know about your topic) to get more relevant search results.

  • Use Boolean Operators "AND" to narrow your results, "NOT" to limit your results, and "OR" to broaden your results

  • Use quotation marks around phrases and names to keep the words in order in your search results

  • Need to find a word in your article, website, or document? Use the "Ctrl" key + "f" key and enter the word you are looking for in the search box that appears.

  • Use the ~ (tilde) before your search term (no space between) to find similar terms

  • Use their print button to print only the article

  • Stay calm and don't panic! If your search does not give you the results you need, try a different keyword or subject heading.
