DEVISE STRATEGY

Once you have defined your topic, you will need to know where to search for additonal information. The sources you use are often determined by the instructor or assignment. You will need to make a list of keywords to search the library catalog, databases, and the Web.


SEARCH SOURCES

Searching these sources can be as easy as using the index of a book or it may involve advanced searching methods used in specialized databases or Web search engines. Remember to use the "Help" button on the databases and search engines. Consult librarians at the reference desk or at Ask a Librarian for assistance in accessing and searching sources.

Examples of keyword searches:

  • business and ethics
  • business and moral*
  • business and ethics and case studies
  • affirmative action and employ*
    • (Using the * to truncate would search for employ, employee, employer, employment)
