1. Search multi-sibject resources to start your research

• Use "*" to truncate your keywords and get more results of your keywords;
• Use "AND" to connect your keywords in order to narrow down your search and get what you are looking for;
• Search within "Abstract", which will help you find what you are looking for;
• Always pay attention to "suggested topics" or "subjects", which might give you good search queries;

For instance, "Los Angeles" AND "Riot*" (your topic, e.g. a movement, a figure, an event)

Once you find your topic in a database, you can then refine your topic to your interested aspects (e.g. "race relations", "civil rights")

On the other hand, you can search your interested aspects in a topic database (e.g. CQ) to get an overview of it (e.g. "black" AND "rac*")

2. When you have good ideas about your topic, search subject specialized databases

This course examines black social movements for freedom, justice, equality, and self determination. Beginning with Reconstruction, movements include labor, civil rights, radical feminism, socialism, reparations, Black Nationalism, prisoners' rights, and Hip Hop.
