Finding articles: research tips
• Use Advance Search for limiting results– If you get too many results, limit your search for specifics
• Limit by: Date, Publication, Author, Subject search
• How many databases do you need to search?– As many as you think relevant, but at least:– 3 library databases, 3 search engines, 3 books
• Not finding anything? Do something different• Innovative Searching, try databases “off” your subject
– I tried medical databases with surprising success– Try different terms that mean about the same thing / synonyms– Wikipedia.com . . . Use this to take you to authoritive sites– Don’t tell anyone but Ask Jeeves (ask.com). . . I’ll show you how
