Module 1 - Searching Expertise - Keyword Searching

Starting with a keyword search allows you to locate material that includes your keywords within the title, abstract, subject heading or term, or anywhere else in the record. Privacy occurs in the title as well as in the list of Subject Terms and Abstract. Notice the list of other Subject Terms that you could use to help you find additional articles.

Use keyword searching to:

• start your research
• find specific information (a fact, date or name)
• find every occurrence of the words you enter in that database
• identify the subject headings used for your topic
