Learn and Use Key Terms

The key to successful database research is using concise terminology. Part of the research process is to begin by learning the key terms used within a particular field and subject. Geographical names will be a great place to start for your travel writing assignment, but in order to find more specific information it will be important to know not just what you are looking for but how others in the field talk about the topic.

--> For example, I may begin my research by looking up general information on Dubai by typing in "Dubai."

You will soon discover that such a broad search turns up millions of results!

You'll need to narrow down your research in order to have relevant and manageable results. One way of doing this is by using additional search terms such as "Tourism" or "Culture." You can also limit your search results by using the facets on the left hand-side of the page.

--> Try adding terms: "Dubai and tourism" or "Dubai and tourism and economy"
