The And Or Button is very very nice.
make sure to find words that mean the same thing, so more articles will show up.
Put parenthesis around the phrase you are looking up to find the name the database uses
take your time and look through main databases to narrow your search
The lcc online library is very helpfull in finding specific information.
One tip is to try and narrow the search as much possible.
Take your time. Read all fine print.
I need more time, the class was too fast paced for me to absorb what is was being showed to us
When researching select the “Full text articles” because “abstract” may not have an author that can be sited.
“Peer reviewed” will be more reliable.
Thanks for the overview-very helpful!
