Database Tips
In most databases, these practices will help you get the best results:
- Do keyword searches using quotation marks and search connectors ("medical tourism" AND "health insurance")
- Once you find some sources, look at the subject terms listed in the database. These can help extend your search.
- Use the filter column to limit your results by publication date, source, and more.
- Use the Get it! button to access electronic full text or make an Interlibrary Loan request.
- Remember that you will need to try multiple searches! Contact a librarian when you need help.
