How to Evaluate Your Search
In order to get the best possible information on your topic, you may need to narrow, expand, or revise your search. Ask yourself these questions after you have done some initial searching...
Should I use a general database, or a subject-spedific database?
Should I use print or non-electronic resources?
Should I use resources beyond journals and books?
Should I use more scholarly resources? More popular resources?
