Optimal Search Strategies

Remember to approach database searching like an information detective:

  • Try several databases using a variety of keywords.
  • Mine the subject and keyword tags to optimize future searches.
  • Hunt through references and bibliographies for additional source possibilities.
  • Scan abstracts and opening paragraphs to assess suitability quickly.
