How to Search

 

Screenshot of search strategy examples for online dating: use multiple keywords like 'online dating', 'internet dating', 'dating websites', etc., and filter results by reference entries, peer-reviewed sources, books, or audiovisual. Results may include online and hardcopy materials.

  1. First, you will likely need to perform several searches with different search words

Examples:

  • search #1 = online dating
  • search #2 = internet dating
  • search #3 = dating websites
  • search #4 = online dating culture
  • search #5 = online dating norms
  • search #6 = "internet daters" attitudes
  1. Next, filter by "Reference Entries" to give you basic background about your topic.
  2. Then filter by different source types – Peer-reviewed, Books, and Videos can be helpful types of sources
  3. Results may include online sources AND hardcopy sources available on library shelves

Use filters to narrow your results

If you are getting thousands of results, you can try filtering them to get a more specific set of results.

For example:

  • Use the 'View Online' filter (under 'Show Only') to see only results that you can access online.
  • Use the different filters under 'Source Type' to see specific types of sources, such as newspaper articles, eBooks, videos, and others.
  • Use the 'Publication Date' filter to narrow down results to only those published in a certain time period (for example, the last 10 years)
