Searching Databases
  • General tips
  • - clearly define and narrow your topic to an
    appropriate size for the length of the assignment
  • - use Thesaurus or Subject heading features
    to choose appropriate search terms (for example,
    Sociological Abstracts prefers firearms rather
    than guns)
  • - use AND/OR/NOT to combine multiple terms
  • - use search limit features in database
    (publication date, language, etc).

Citing Resources
  • Scholarship and research are based on built on
    the concept of building on the research of others
    who have studied and published on related topics.
  • You should incorporate the ideas of others in
    your work, but you MUST give credit to the owner
    of the idea (regardless of whether using a direct
    quotation or not)
  • My adviceerror on the side of cautionthe
    consequences are too great!
