| Didn't get enough search results? Try this: |
| Choice of keywords- choosing the right keywords is key. Try experimenting with different terms. (ex: Movie OR cinema OR film OR motion picture) |
| Too narrow topic- try looking for sources on a broader, related topic (ex: hiking AND central Florida instead of hiking AND DeLand) |
| Too many search terms- begin with 1-2 search terms that best represent your topic, then add more as needed. Avoid long phrases. |
| Too many search filters- avoid using any filters that are unnecessary |
| Choice of database- select a database with a broader scope of subject matter |
| Use wildcard & truncation symbols- *, #, ? Allow you to search for multiple spellings of a term |
