SEARCHING ONLINE OR IN DATABASES

• Don’t rely on simple Web searches only.

• Find library databases targeted to your subject.

• Use advanced search techniques to focus your search.

• Learn the difference between subject heading and keyword searches.

• Understand the differences between academic and popular sources.

• Admit when you don’t know how to find material — you won’t be alone!

• Routinely ask for help from librarians and instructors.
