Searching Tips
Identify key words for your topic. You can combine search terms with AND so that each record in your results contains all of the terms. For example: libraries and censorship.
Consider using synonyms or related terms to expand your search, or to be sure you are covering your topic thoroughly. For example: school media specialist or school librarian. See if the database you are using has a thesaurus to help you decide on search terms.
