USE WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT SEARCH

1) Use the advanced searching feature if there is one. This will save you some time and limit your search.

2) Start with broad terms (ex. disease instead of cancer) and then narrow.

3) As you narrow, think about disciplinary language. Is there something else this topic might be referred to as?

4) If you still aren't getting good results, try to start with the browsing feature (even if it's very broad). Sometimes the term your searching isn't used but you still know it would be under a broad subject like "humanities" or "writing".

PICK A SCENARIO
