Use the search tips below to improve your results:

• Parentheses: Use with the word OR to combine ideas and expand your search. 
  • EXAMPLE: 
  • (college OR university)
  • (lawyer OR attorney)
  • (doctor OR physician)

• Quotation marks: Use these around your keywords for an “exact search”. This tool will give you specific (aka fewer) results because it searches for your keywords exactly as you’ve entered them. 

  • EXAMPLE:

    • "day care"

    • "social media"

    • "vocational guidance"

• Asterisk * : Use this to shorten a word and search for all possible endings of the root word. This tool will give you more results.

  • EXAMPLE:

    • manag* = manage, managing, managed

    • child* = child, children, childhood

    • reduc* = reduce, reduced, reduction

• 
  • Look for

Quotation marks: Use these around your keywords for an “exact search”. This tool will give you specific (aka fewer) results because it searches for your keywords exactly as you’ve entered them.

•  "social media"

Asterisk: Use this to shorten a word and search for all possible endings of the root word. This tool will give you more results.

Example:

• employ* = employ, employee, employer, employment
• nurse* = nurse, nursing
• stereotyp* = stereotype, stereotypic, stereotyping
• child* = child, children, childhood, childish, childcare
• hir* = hire, hiring

Parentheses and Or: Use these around keywords separated by the word "or" to expand your search with synonyms. Putting "or" between words means that either term (or both) will be returned in the search. 

Example

• "glass ceiling" AND (work or employ*)
• "implicit bias" (hir* or employ*)
