Combined Search

• Research is a process. You probably won’t find everything you need on the first try. You may have to try several of these databases to find all the information you need.
• If you can’t find much on your topic, try different keywords. Using synonyms or broader related terms can help you find more articles. As you research, be on the lookout for new keywords to use.
