Getting Started
Unsure where to start with a research assignment? Here are some steps to follow:

- Develop a search strategy using relevant databases, keywords, and database tools like Subject terms and date ranges.
- Review and evaluate search results. You'll likely have to do multiple searches to find everything you need.
