When searching a database for articles or topics, it is best to remember a few Key Points:

• Spell out whatever key words you are looking for, abbreviations are often misunderstood by database search engines.
• Remember to use the boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT to link your keywords together. 
• Use mostly nouns when possible in your searches.  Avoid using other parts of speech (prepositions, etc.) in your search string for better results.
• Try lots of different combinations and synonyms for your topic.  Be persistent!
