General tips for identifying search terms

Database providers continuously streamline the research process, so check out the Help links.  But before you even begin searching, try brainstorming some words and terms:

  • If you are looking for information about advertising and children, think of synonyms for those words
  • Can't think of any? Consult a thesaurus:

 

advertising marketing
childrens adolescents
  • Use Boolean operators* (AND, OR) to combine synonymous terms:
  advertising OR marketing
AND childrens OR adolescents
