Research Tip

Free Stuff!!!

When researching a topic, does it have more than one word? If so, use
quotation marks around them. By doing so, it will keep the words together and
search as a phrase. This is called phrase searching.

Thats rightfree stuff! No need to

check these out as they are for you to
keep! Some of them are older,
publications, but still have great
information!

Example: When searching for items on cardiac arrest, it should look like
cardiac arrest.

Natural Awakenings Magazine

Orlando Weekly Newspaper

If you search cardiac arrest without the quotation marks, you will find more
items that you even need on subjects that have nothing to do with what you
want. You may even find criminal justice-related articles because of the
word arrest!
