The best way to search the library databases is to try out different combinations of key words/short phrases. Phrase searching is one technique you can use to refine your search. To phrase search, place phrases inside quotation marks or parentheses. This tells the database to search the phrase as a unit instead of a string of keywords.
Example:
"safety management"
(safety management)
In order to search for specific journals or other publications in the library, use the Publication Finder. Look for the Publications link under "Research Tools" in the left column.
