- What is your topic?
- What unique words, specific names or people and/or organizations, or abbreviations/acronyms are associated with your topic?
- What professional societies, agencies, organizations, or groups might have information on your subject?
- What resources, articles, websites, news stories, and the like do you already have about the topic? What leads can you gain from them?
this will yield the complete and exact phrase we are looking for
enclose these terms or phrases in brackets or quotation marks

Typing “AND” between keywords (e.g. media AND Internet)
to broaden our search to give search results that contain at least one of these words.
Typing “OR” between keywords (e.g. television OR multimedia)
before a keyword that may have multiple meanings to exclude that keyword from our search .
Typing “NOT” or minus sign (e.g., apple NOT computer brand)
