Introduction to Searching for Books and Articles

Once you have a topic in mind, it’s important to plan your searches before you dive into the databases and other library resources.

In Part 2 , you will learn to:

• Develop search terms and arrange those words into a search string
• Use your search strings to find books and articles from the library website.
• Filter your search results
• Find full text of online resources and how to save resources for later

We’ll talk about evaluating what you find in these databases in Part 3.
