- Initial search results are usually huge sets.
- Make the results more relevant by placing these 3 limits:
- Full text
- tells the system to only bring up citations with the whole articles
- Date range
- perhaps the last 10 years?
- maybe more recent depending on the topic
- Scholarly articles
- The assignment asks you to find scholarly articles
- These might be called "Academic Journals," "Peer-Reviewed Journals"
For instance:
The initial search for "Being Biracial in a Racist World" brought up over 3,000 results.
Limiting to full text, articles published after 2010, and scholarly journals brought the total down to about 800.
