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 teh 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 and articles. Library Search will not return results that we do not own or subscribe to, so it is not an exhaustive search.
