Every database has the same core functions they like to operate off of, such as using keywords or the Boolean Operators AND, OR, NOT. However, each database vendor designs its databases slightly differently. Taking time to read or watch their help documentation will help you become a power user and speed up the search process. If you need help searching the databases, schedule an appointment with your librarian.
