I have learned that certain databases would apply to my topic, not all of them. I know LexisNexis and JSTOR have periodicals relevant to my topic. Truncation is a chance at finding advanced search engine results. There has to be a distinction between typing in a keyword and a subject on an article database. I practice what I know to get the sources I need for my paper. These techniques will narrow down my search online, specifically to the topic at hand. Prior to this course, I usually did research papers using books and the Internet, of course, and was unfamiliar with advanced searching techniques and databases.
