General tips for identifying search terms

Database providers continuously strive to streamline the research process, so don't forget to check the Help links.  Consider these steps for creating a list of relevant words and terms:
 

  • Try to state your information need in a sentence, question, or phrase and identify the key terms. 

                       What impact does advertising have on home sales? 

  • Consider additional words to describe your topic.  Check encyclopedias or dictionaries. Search the Library catalog for your topic and encyclopedias (i.e. ethics AND encyclopedias).  Consult a thesaurus.
 
advertising marketing
home sales housing market
impact effect
  • Use Boolean operators (AND, OR) to combine synonymous terms:
 
  advertising OR marketing
AND home sales OR housing market
AND impact OR effect
