Database Search Tips

Go broad by searching with your main topic only. Then, narrow your results by adding additional keywords.
Search for each aspect of your topic separately.
You may not find one book or article covering all aspects of your topic. Instead, you'll most likely find bits and pieces of information in many different sources.

You may need to experiment with different keyword combinations to find the best results.
