Search Term Hints
Think: “What do I need to know more about?” (Look for important terms in your assignment notes)
Broaden or narrow your search terms as necessary (ex: “Soldiers” vs “American Soldiers” vs “Audie Murphy”)
Try all possible synonyms and related terms (ex: “President,” “American,” and “Commander-in-Chief” … Consider using an “Advanced Search”)
Include both singular and plural uses of the term (ex: “wife” & “wives”)
Look for better search terms in the resources you discover
As you go, keep track of the terms you’ve used, and the results you’ve found (i.e. taking notes)
