Tip for searching with keywords

STEP 1. Select your keywords

Your keywords are the most important and descriptive words in your research question. Try to avoid initially looking for resources that support only one opinion.

Question: Is a butterfly needle or a straight needle preferable for patients with fagile veins?

Keywords: Butterfly needle - straight needle - fragile veins

STEP 2. Divide and conquer

You may need to look for articles that only cover one area of your question.

Search 1. "Butterfly needle" AND "fragile veins"

Search 2. "Straight needle" AND "fragile veins"

Step 3. Try the Library Search tool

Find books, articles, videos, and more.
