1. Create a list of broad and narrow keywords for your topic. If you need keyword ideas, use a thesaurus or an encyclopedia (see Getting Started with Research).
2. Check your spelling!
3. Search using just keywords. Don't type sentences. Use only 2 or 3 keywords at a time.
4. Use AND, OR, NOT between keywords.
- AND - all results will have ALL words
- OR - results will contain EITHER one word OR the other
- NOT - results will NOT contain a particular word
