Database Search Tips
Use Keywords when searching the databases. Getting too many results?
- Make sure your topic isn't too broad, such as "Health"
- Try narrowing your topic by:
- Including a group or population, such as "Children" (A topic on "Health" could become "Childhood Obesity")
- Including a location, such as California
- Limit the date range to the last 5 or 10 years to get up-to-date information
Recommended Databases
Tip: Search for various terms and combine them with other related topics to find more relevant results. If you don't find what you're looking for,look for a few related articles to see what terminology is being used, and then try another search using that vocabulary. If you're still feeling stuck, you can ask us for help.
