CNX 211: The Life (and Death?) of Public Education in America

Search statement techniques for searching in library databases:​

• Use "quotation marks" to have multiple words searched together as a phrase:
  • "high school"
  • "mental health"
  • "achievement gap"
  • "special education"
     
• Use an * to search for variant forms of a word:
  • parent* = parent, parents, parental, parenting, parented
  • disciplin* = discipline, disciplinary, disciplinarian, disciplined
     

• Use the word AND (in capital letters) to combine different topics/concepts:
  • "mental health" AND "elementary school"
  • parent* AND "achievement gap" AND "high school"

To request articles or books/book chapters or other materials not available at F&M, use Interlibrary Loan/ILL
