Research Tips

Here are some tips to help you find the best possible resources for your research:

  • Think of keywords before you begin searching. These are the terms that are most relevant to your topic. For example, if you are studying The Ketogenic Diet, you might want to search for "ketogenic", "diet fads", or "low carbohydrates".
  • Think of any synonyms for your keywords. If you are searching for information on The Ketogenic (Low Carb) Diet, both "ketogenic" and "keto" are two different keywords that might both contain helpful information.
  • Use quotations around phrases, such as "Low Carbohydrates" to ensure results that contain both words together.
  • Too many results? Try adding more keywords or using more specific keywords in your search. No results? Remove keywords or try to think of broader keywords to use.
