Finding good search words is often the most difficult part of the search process.

For example, if my search is about the concepts of gender and income, I might also find information under these search words:

Look carefully at the subject terms listed in the journal record when you're searching for articles to see what words the authors and the database have listed there.

You can NARROW searches by using the Boolean operator AND, as noted in the above examples.

You can EXPAND searches by using the Boolean operator OR. For example:

(income or wages) and gender

You can also narrow searches by using limiters in the database, such as date, full-text, scholarly (peer-reviewed), etc.
