Database Search Tips
* Don't try just one!
Search multiple databases - each database indexes a different collection of journals/sources.
* “Synonomize”
Don’t feel tied to a specific term – think of alternatives, and loosely associated terms.
* Start big…
Start your search with general terms – it’s easier to narrow down 1,000 results than it is to expand 0.
*…but keep it small
Don’t use phrases or overly complex search strings.
*"Cheat"!
When you find a good article, look at the subject terms or keywords that the database has used to index that article. Use those terms in a new search. Speak the database's language - it'll respond.
