Database Search Tips

Databases are different than Google!
  • To search effectively, break down your topic to keywords.
  • Combine your keywords with connecting words - AND, OR, NOT  (Quick Tutorial on Boolean Logic)
  • Start broad --> go narrow
  • Use a Wildcard symbol (*) after the root of a word to bring in variations of a word-psych* (psychology, psychological, psychic...)
 Search term tips
  • Try a variety of terms-Native American*, Indian*, American Indian*
  • Combine with a broader topic-education, health, society
  • Remember to use connecting words:
    • Native American* AND education
    • Indian* AND higher AND education
