Starting Activity: Click Here
Find Articles (Recommended Databases)
Use one or more of these databases to locate articles on a topic.
AND will connect words, ensuring that the articles you find will contain both terms.
Quotations marks (" ") will group words as a phrase, ensuring they appear next to each other in the record. For example: "Corporate Speak" or "constructive criticism."
An Asterisk (*) at the end of a term will allow you to search for different forms of a word with what you enter as a base. For example: econ* will return results for economy, economic, economics, economist, economical, etc.
