Learn how to use Booleans, truncation, and quotations for effective searching.
When searching the library catalog, databases, or the internet, use AND / OR / NOTto help you broaden or narrow your search results:
Use truncation symbols (usually ? or *) in library catalogs and databases to capture all forms of words (forest* will retrieve forest, forests, forester, forested, foresting).
Keep searches simple using basic search words. Search on body image women rather than how does body image affect women in the United States?
Use a variety of search words. For example, try different searches to find different results:
body image women
self image women
personal appearance women
anorexia women
body image teenagers
...etc.
