Here are some general tips to guide you in choosing your search terms:
- Use keywords or brief (2-word) phrases instead of sentences -- one or two for each part of your topic.
- Use nouns and verbs as your keywords. Avoid most adjectives and adverbs. Think of words that are likely to be used in titles (or that you have seen in titles).
- If your keywords aren't turning up many results, you may need to:
Sociology Databases
Journal articles, and citations for books, conference proceedings, and other resources, in the field of sociology.
Academic and professional journal articles, dissertations, magazines, and news dealing with a variety of social science fields.
Data & Statistics Databases
Statistics relating to social, political and economic conditions in the United States.
Statistical data in a wide range of subject areas, with tools for searching, analyzing and visualizing.
Visualization, reporting and downloads of U.S. Census Data.
