Searches that work: key strategies for finding sources in Tripod
 

• Search in the right place - choose a research tool that highlights academic sources, such as Tripod or JSTOR

• Pick your keywords carefully - translate your ideas into terms you'd find in the books/articles you want to read

• When searching, syntax is everything - how you arrange your search terms will determine your results

• Filter your search results - keywords only get you so far - narrow your results using Date Published, Resource Type, and other filters
