Searching for sources

Search for books, articles, and videos in the Holman library

1. First: Try broad search words relating to your topic.
   Example: genetically modified food 
    
2. Try a new search. Add words to narrow your search. 
   Examples: nutrition | legislation | controversy | small farms | hunger | safety | labeling | pest resistance

Example searches: 

• genetically modified food labeling
• genetically modified food safety
• genetically modified food hunger

3. Brainstorm synonyms or related terms for search words
   Example: hunger- food supply, food security, famine, malnutrition

Example searches:

• genetically modified food famine

4. Finally, refine your results by source type =  "books" 
   Note: You can request that books be sent to the Kent, Enumclaw or Auburn SBAC campuses from the Holman Library)
