Find sources

word bubble iconFind good keywords

  • Keyword tool: This tool from the University of Texas at Austin guides you through the process of creating a keyword search.
  • Using Boolean logic: This pdf from the University of Toronto explains how to use AND, OR, NOT, " ", * , and other modifiers in your search.

laptop iconChoose a database (or use Library Search)

  • Databases: specialized resources to find scholarly sources about a specific area, such as sciences, agriculture, medicine, etc.
  • Library Search: search the entire library's holdings, including books, articles, and maps. Library Search will not return results that we do not own or subscribe to, so it is not an exhaustive search.
  • Find other databases for other disciplines.
