Search Strategies

  • Key words: Use a single word, not an entire phrase
  • For "In Context" databases, first search the subject. Then use "search within page" to narrow your search.

​
Choose the type of source. 
  • Reference books give an overview of the subject, 
  • Magazine articles are often about a single event or topic. 
  • Academic journals are more complex and written for high school and college students.
