When searching the databases for information, keep the following tips in mind:

• Click on Full-Text to retrieve articles that can be read immediately
• Click on Peer reviewed or Refereed to view articles from scholarly journals
• Enter in keywords rather than full sentences
• Use quotation marks when searching a phrase (2+ words). For example, "black history", "african americans", "martin luther king". Use lower case since it will search both lower and upper case words.
