Find sources for your assignment with a natural language search or a keyword search.

For a natural language search:

1. Search with your entire assignment topic or research question.

For example: What is the impact of information overload in the workplace?

For a keyword search:

1. Identify the concepts in your assignment topic or research question.

2. Search with these concepts (also called keywords). If your concept has more than one word, put quotation marks around it.

Example research question: How does using social networking sites help with information overload in the workplace?

Example keywords:                                         "social networking"                        "information overload"          workplace

Try both methods and see what different sources you can find.
