Database Searching Tips

• Use "guided", "advanced", or "expert" searches to combine two or more ideas into one search.
  
  
• Search terms that are productive in one database may not yield results in another database. Be sure to try a variety of synonymous terms when searching.
  
  
• If your search is not productive, use a broader or a narrower concept. eg, try "Ford Motor Company" instead of "Ford".
  
  
• If a term is shortened or abbreviated, try the long form of the term. eg, use "third party logistics" instead of "3PLs".
  
  
• Be sure that all terms are spelled correctly.
