Most of the databases and collections searchable via the Regis Library are large and comprehensive. If you get zero (0) results during your initial search, that is a good time to stop and make sure you are using the right database for the information needs. Search results are also a direct reflection of the choice of search terms. Language affords us a multitude of ways to describe a topic using different keywords. Be flexible with your choice of search terms, and take time to brainstorm synonymous or related terms if your initial choice of keywords doesn't yield the desired quantity or quality of results needed. You may also want to think of your topic in broader terms to generate more inclusive results.
