STUFF
LIBRARIAN
Research as Inquiry
Research is iterative and depends upon asking increasingly complex or new questions whose answers in turn develop additional questions or lines of inquiry.
Searching as Strategic Exploration
Searching for information is often nonlinear and iterative, requiring the evaluation of a range of information sources and the mental flexibility to pursue alternate avenues as new understanding develops.

DATABASE
BROWSING A
Databases have more functionality than just searching.
They allow for browsing and following a trail of interests through the literature.
We'll look at how this works in Education Source, our most comprehensive education database.
TERMS
SEARCH
what is your main topic?
what are the specifics?
The more ways you have to describe your ideas, the wider net you can cast in your searching.
what are different ways to describe your ideas?
Can art classes be incorporated as a creative or emotional outlet for BIPOC children?
art classes
community
emotional outlet
creative outlet
self celebration
social justice
inter-generational trauma
STRATEGIES
SEARCH
use AND to connect terms
art class AND emotional outlet AND trauma
combining different terms = different results
art class AND emotional outlet AND community building
use OR to connect synonyms
elementary OR primary AND art class AND emotional outlet AND trauma
use "..." for phrases or names
"active learning", "bell hooks"
use database filters to narrow your search
use the database thesaurus for targeted searches
you may need to broaden your search
