Finding Concepts, Terminology, & Focus with Reference
You can use a reference database to scan for ideas, a focus, and keywords - as well as to get informed!
In the images below I do the following steps:
- I do a keyword search of climate change AND micronesia OR guam OR oceania. (note that you don't need to capitalize
- I scan the encyclopedia titles and the article titles for ways to focus my research and for language and concepts I can learn from and use in my research.
