Tips to Using Databases:
Use the filters to refine your search: - Shorten the search to five years - Try AND, OR, and NOT - Broaden your words. The broader the better. - Consider your search terms like different spelling, alternative terminology, and word ending - Use other databases - Quotations help by searching the exact phrase you want like "diabetes and nutrition" You can also watch this video for a more visual understanding!
