Suggestions and strategies for starting your research.

Saving Your Search

Saving your search will save you time. There are two ways to save your work.

  1. Each database will allow you to register for an account. After you create and run a search, look for the option to save or "create alert." Follow through on this step and you will be able to revisit your search anytime you wish.
  2. After you create and run a search, copy and paste the search string into a document. Save the document with the date and title of your project. Especially if you plan to publish, this search documentation may be helpful later.
