There are four steps in building a keyword search strategy:
No results? See tips for changing your search when you aren't finding as many articles as you'd like.
Opposing Viewpoints includes articles about social issues. Focus on the Academic Journals results and ask your professor if it is OK to use the Viewpoints, as those are generally not considered "scholarly."
CQ Researcher comprises unbiased reports on social issues and controversial topics.
Thoreau searches multiple databases at once. Remember, as with other databases, to isolate the keywords that represent the two or three concepts of your research topic.
In Thoreau just type those keywords in their own search box to find the best results.
