Frequently Asked Questions: General

Try changing the terms you use to build your search. You may want to select keywords that are more targeted towards your specific topic.  Check to make sure you haven't unintentionally selected any database features or search tools like searching for related or adjacent terms, using "OR" instead of "AND." Experiment with the available search limiters to target specific years or date ranges, explore subject headings, format types, and more. If you have too few results, you may also want to try starting out more broadly with your search and then build on it.
