All searching works better if you use the terms that the authors are using, so:

• take notes about related words and concepts
• use those in future searches on Google and in other places.

Using what you find:

• Remember to evaluate your sources to see if they are worthy of your attention! See "Evaluating What You Find Online" to the left.
• Found articles but can't get to the full text? There's a tab for that to the left!

The best results are those that give you clues about where you might look next (other entries, similar names, and especially "further reading").

Remember to keep notes about useful words and related concepts that you can use in future searches.
