Search Tips:
- Combine Keywords from your course materials with a current event, a country, an issue to create a "search string"
- Search for exact phrases by putting quotations marks around them, for example: "mutual reliance"
- Search for files and scans using " filetype:pdf" in a search
- Limit results by domain: .gov .edu .pe
- Limit to terms in the title of a site or article with "intitle:"
- Weed out irrelevant results by using a minus sign and the word(s) that are mucking up the search
- Get all versions of a word with truncation (*) For example: Child*
- Get variations of a word with wild cards (?) For example: Analy?e
Sample Search String:
- "amnesty international" iran intitle:execution* site:http://.gov "cultur* impact" -oil
