  1. I found that when you really limit your wording and get specific with the word choices you find that it really breaks down what you are needing to find. It limits the articles that will show but I find that useful as sometimes they post articles that have no meaning to what someone writes in the terms used. I haven’t tried those databases yet but for your project I think they will be great! Good luck on your paper 🙂

  2. My comments to week 10 seem to be correct. Doing an advanced search on your terms really narrowed down the results to a manageable number of sources. Hopefully your will acquire the information you need to support your research subject. It seems your choices of databases are perfect for your topic. Good luck.
