Tips for Searching Scholarly Articles

Tips for Searching for Books: 

  1. Search for the major concepts or ideas in your research topic.  For example, if you are researching a demographic and unique social phenomenon, you might search: demographic AND unique phenomenon.  This will give you more targeted results. For example, women AND "reproductive rights".  Another example, bisexual* AND "romantic relationships". 
  2. Make sure to mark All BooksThis will ensure you are seeing the results for books. 
  3. Copy the APA citation and paste into a slide.  Do this if there is a possibility you will use the source.  You can always delete the citation if you end up not using it. This is easier than having to go back and find the citation. 
    Helpful tricks: 
  • Using AND (in all caps) will connect the search terms you are using
  • Using "quotations around a phrase" will indicate that you want to search those words in that specific order 
  • Using an asterisk at the end of the word (for example, bisexual*) will search for all alternate endings of the term.  This example would also search bisexuals, bisexuality.
