Database Search Tips

ALT Text: Search tips: Use quotation marks for exact phrases like "higher education"; OR to include either term like principal OR administrator; an asterisk like academ* to find word variations like academic, academy, or academies; or intitle: or author: to target specific fields. To remove words from a search, use a hyphen in Google like -ADHD or the word NOT like NOT ADHD in databases.
