When you're having trouble finding the resources you need, there are two things to keep in mind:

Choose your search terms.

To search within the library databases, you will need to use keywords.  Think of your topic, and break it down into keywords.  When identifying keywords think about related terms, broader terms and narrower terms.  Brainstorm a list and try them in the database.


Change the database you are searching.
  
From our homepage, you can use Spartan Search.  This will search most of our databases all at once. You can find more databases by click on the "A to Z Database List" link in the blue tabbed search box.  For additional help on research, check out our tutorials on our Help page.Preview
