When using the databases available through Upstate it is important to remember that most do not work like Google; meaning, you cannot put in a full sentence.
This means you will have to use keywords when searching. For example, if your topic is "can marijuana use help people with cancer," you would search using terms like "marijuana," "cancer," and "benefits," instead of using an entire sentence.
Examples of how to identify keywords are included below.
When trying to find the best keywords for your topic, a quick Google or Wikipedia search can prove useful. The purpose of doing these searches is NOT to find sources, but to find out more about your topic and locate synonyms.
