Having a difficult time finding information: Think about your Search Terms
Be sure to think of your topic from several angles. Use search terms that are broader than your topic to find either books or databases, use narrower terms for use in book indexes and a focused search. For example if you are doing a paper on Simon Bolivar, a broad search term would be “Latin American History”, an example of a narrow search term would be “The Liberator” (the name Simon Bolivar was called).
