What are some tips for searching periodical databases/indexes?
Always refer to the Help Screens for each database or index, they can save you a lot of time.There is no universal way of searching databases/indexes. But in general, just pick out a couple of keywords and start your search, then refine your search as you go using synonyms, more specific terms, etc. It is usually best to start with broad topics (eg., Native Americans) and then narrow your search (eg., Menominee Indians).
