Library Search is a tool that will bring back many types of resources on just about any topic. That makes it a great starting point for most research topics.
Search Tips:
- Put phrases into quotation marks, like "bipolar disorder" or "no child left behind"
- Try synonyms to bring back different results. "bipolar disorder" teens will bring back different sources than "bipolar disorder" adolescents.
- Use "Date" near the top of the left-hand column to limit your results to items from the last 5 or 10 years.
- Use "Source Type" in the middle of the left-hand column to limit your results to books, newspaper articles, etc.
- Use "Scholarly/Peer-reviewed Journals" at the top of the left-hand column to make sure you are getting scholarly journal articles.
