Research Tips

Tips

Don't waste too much time looking. If you don't get any "hits" after 10 minutes, change to a different search engine. Remember, we also have some great book sources.
Check the databases that are available to you. These are primarily journal and book sources.
Use specific search terms. For example "tiger shark" is a better search term than the word "shark."
Remember, sometimes your query may have an alternative spelling. For example, the explorer Cortez is sometimes found using the spelling Cortes.
All search engines are not alike. Some need your query in quotations, some don't. Some use the + and - signs. Ask the media center staff for help.
Can't find what you need? Use similar terms or synonyms.
Really confused or stuck? Ask the media center staff for help. That's why we are here.
