Refine your database research. Databases are online collections of citations or full-text articles that are searchable. They’ve been organized for you. The Internet, on the other hand, is like a giant library with all the books thrown on the floor. ❏ Use a thesaurus if the search terms you use don’t work. ❏ Use * at the stem of a word: Swim* searches for swim, swimming, swims. ❏ Use operators such as AND and OR. Using AND narrows a search and retrieves results with both words. Using OR broadens the search and produces results that contain either of the words.
