Database Search Tips

  • Spelling counts! Not seeing many results? Double-check your spelling.
  • Try "Phrase Searching" - Place quotation marks around keywords you want to keep together.
    • Example: "inclusive classroom"
  • Use AND to link keywords so each result contains all of the words.
    • Example: autism AND "early childhood education"
  • Use OR to broaden your search. OR finds results with either word.
    • Example: (autism OR "autism spectrum disorder")
  • Think about how experts in the field would phrase the concepts you're researching and try those words in your search.

Keyword searching is not an exact science. You may need to experiment with different combinations to get the best results.
