If you get too many results—
Consider narrowing down the search terms in an Abstract or even in the Title field
Try searching by Subject, rather than by Keyword (or by a combination of Subjects and Keywords or other fields)

Use other limiters, if appropriate, such as a specific type of publication (Peer Reviewed, for example) or a specific time period
If your search does not yield enough results---
Check your search to see if you entered it and spelled it as you intended
Try other search terms and use OR between the terms to find items with any one of the terms
Try using a truncation symbol (often an *) to retrieve results with varying forms of a word (educat*, for example)
