Gale Academic OneFile provides thousands

[00:00:08.390]
of quality academic journals and

[00:00:10.720]
tools to help you dynamically hone a topic

[00:00:13.089]
into a research question.

[00:00:15.539]
Basic search is often a great place

[00:00:17.600]
to start if you have a narrow research focus

[00:00:19.649]
in mind, but if you're interested

[00:00:21.859]
in a broad topic, you may want to use

[00:00:23.969]
the Advanced Search to filter out articles

[00:00:26.149]
that just mention your search terms.

[00:00:28.739]
Try the Subject option,

[00:00:30.600]
which retrieves results tagged to provide more

[00:00:32.850]
in depth coverage of the topic.

[00:00:35.909]
If you're not sure which subject terms to use,

[00:00:38.460]
try the Subject Guide search.

[00:00:42.259]
If you still have a large number of results,

[00:00:44.670]
apply filters to begin focusing

[00:00:47.000]
your research.

[00:00:51.159]
You can also use Topic Finder to visualize

[00:00:53.869]
key divisions and themes within your results,

[00:00:56.299]
and create a more specific,

[00:00:58.179]
manageable, and unique focus

[00:01:00.320]
for your research project.

[00:01:03.289]
Continue revising your search as much

[00:01:05.370]
as you like to construct a topic that's both

[00:01:07.480]
interesting and targeted.

[00:01:10.670]
When you're ready to start compiling and analyzing

[00:01:12.760]
sources, be sure to Cite and

[00:01:14.939]
Download, or send your sources

[00:01:17.040]
to your Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive

[00:01:19.599]
to organize and simplify your work.
