Search tips:
• Use the OR operator to broaden your search and to find similar concepts
• The use of truncation:
Truncation is represented by an asterisk (*). To use truncation, enter the root of a search term and replace the ending with an *. EBSCOhost finds all forms of that word. For example, type comput* to find the words computer or computing.
