As an aid in the selection of a topic I would recommend Points of View. This database guides you from basic categories to specific topics with in those categories and provides basic background and points of view for a vast number of topics.
OmniFile Full Text Select is a 100% full-text database and presents full text with every entry from more than 1,600 publications.
This database is a good jumping off point to survey recently published information on any current events or recent developments that you might need for your topic.
Remember whether you are searching any of our databases or even utilizing an Internet search engine (such as Google) the key to successful searching is to utilize these basic search techniques:
- Make use of multiple search terms ( elderly, aged, or senior )
- Combine terms using and to narrow your search ( exercise and stress and women )
- Use "quotes" to force phrase searches ( " global warming" )
- Add * to a base to look for all forms of the term ( tattoo*, for tattoos, tattooed, or tattooing )
Points of View, OmniFile and several alternative database selections may be found on the library's Online Research page.
Happy searching!
