CAP 115 Library Databases Exercise

Kim L. Ranger, Grand Valley State University

Abstract

This handout guides students through the process of searching databases, applying filters/limits to refine a search, and identifying synonyms. Students use their own topic and start with the Find It! search. They then brainstorm other keywords and search in Business Source Ultimate. In both databases, students learn how to refine results and save/email citations in APA format.
