Suggested Search Terms - Finding Resources:
Using search terms effectively is key to finding the most relevant resources when searching in databases, search engines, or library catalogs.
Use Specific Keywords -
Choose the most relevant words for your topic. Avoid using long phrases or complete sentences. Example: Instead of "How does AI impact education?" use AI AND education impact as your search terms. Use an asterisk (*) at the end of a root word to find variations of a word. Many databases allow filters to refine results based on publication date, geographic location, types of sources, or language, which can be helpful for more specific research. Use the filters!
