Try narrowing your search by:

  •  publication date
  •  full text
  •  source type (article, book, video, etc.)

Try different keywords:

  • For example, searching "global warming" in a database search box will provide all materials with the phrase "global warming" found in the abstract or in the text of the article. 
  • Try using different keywords to: (1) find exactly what you are looking for OR (2) add more keywords to the search.

For example, you can limit your search on "global warming" by using the following searches:

  • "global warming" and rivers
  • Or you can change the keywords and search:
  • "climate change" and rivers and temperature

As you read sources that you access, you may find other keywords to help you locate the specific information you want. If you need additional assistance, Ask Us..
