The most important thing to do when starting any research is to identify keywords that define your topic and then combine them to create a search string. You can read more about strategies to do this here: http://subjectguides.sunyempire.edu/researchskillstutorial/ch3
You can try entering your keyword combinations in the OneSearch feature on the library home page. If that yields too many--or irrelevant--results, try using the search tools in our subject guides.
To locate journal articles and other resources on your topic in a subject guide:
1. Go to the library’s home page (http://www.sunyempire.edu/library).
2. Under Find, click All Library Guides.
3. Next, choose Subject Guides. Subject Guides are designed by the librarians to help you do research in your subject area by having all of the relevant resources together in one place.
4. Select your subject from the listing of broad subject areas..
5. Within the subject guide you select, you'll see links to relevant article databases. Click on an appropriate article database to log in and enter your search keywords.
6. If you need other kinds of resources (e.g., videos, images), click through the tabs in the subject guide to view those.
