Before you start searching for articles, think of your specific research question and the main ideas you plan to write about. Once you've identified the main ideas you plan to research, combine your search terms using AND to create a search string you can use in a database. For example: "air quality" AND Utah. For more strategies to improve your searching, see the Search Strategies page in this guide.
