Search Strategy

 

Think About Your Search Strategy

  • Use one or two keywords - not a full sentence. 

  • Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase. Example: "Nobel Peace Prize"

  • Brainstorm keywords! Not getting results? Switch up your keywords, use synonyms, or look at what words are being used in other articles about your topic. 

EXAMPLES

"missing women" AND (Native OR Indigenous)

pollution AND patriarchy AND nature

"climate change" AND (refugees OR migrants) displacement

water AND resources AND protection AND human rights

gender AND recycling AND attitudes
