About research databases

There are general characteristics of research databases to keep in mind that help to make your searching better:

All the resources in the databases, have already been reviewed for truth and accuracy. You do not have to do that yourself.
When you put in a search in a research databases use keywords not whole sentences.
Research databases do not correct spelling errors.
If your search comes back with very few results, check your spelling.
