Learning Objective(s): This challenge will help you figure out where and how to start searching for articles; after completing the challenge, you will have an opportunity to evaluate your search strategy.
Challenge: Think about and record answers to #1 and #2. Then do #3 and #4.
1. Based on what you think your research topic might be, which database(s) do you think you’ll need to use?
2. List some search terms that might work, and decide upon two to combine with AND.
3. Navigate to that database from the library home page, decide whether you want to search for full text or not, then type your search terms and take a look at the first page of results.
4. Find the "narrowing" terms along the left side of the page. Which ones may help focus or narrow your search down?
Please comment on this post and include: your probable topic, database(s) used, search terms entered, narrowing terms that look promising. Also, briefly discuss whether your strategy has you on the right track. Be prepared to share your search story with the class.
