Searching for Journal Articles and Secondary Materials

Enhance the power of your search with a database's thesaurus.

Many databases use specific subject terms. If your search terms aren't the same, you might miss out on relevant articles.

Look for a thesaurus within the database. Usually accessible via a link at the top, the thesaurus will suggest search terms for you to use.

(Not all databases have a thesaurus.)
