Google Tricks

The google trick I found the most helpful in my researching was to put quotes around the words I was searching so it would look for them as one. Without the quotes I got a ton of results and had a hard time finding ones that actually related to my topic. By putting the quotes around the search words I was able to find things that were more closely related to my topic and to cut the number of things I found by a considerable amount. I am glad I learned this trick, as I feel it will be helpful in future projects as well.

  1. Hi Marissa,

    Try the quotation marks strategy while searching in databases, and see what happens!
