Tips for Using Databases

1.) Come up with several search strategies using KEYWORDS, but not questions. What synonyms can you use that might yield more results? For example:

Domestication of plants
- Pesticides
Pesticide Impact
Pesticide Significance
Pesticide Effects

2.) Unfortunately, databases aren't forgiving of spelling errors. If you get no results, check to make sure your search terms are spelled correctly.

3.) Use limiters (usually on the sidebars of databases) to narrow your search by:

Document type (Do you want magazine articles? Interviews? Primary Sources?)
