break your topic up into keywords to find articles, reports and information
use synonyms i.e. backpacker or budget travel or hostels
limit your research to recent articles
What are refereed journals?
refereed journals have an editorial board to approve publication, a reference list and up to date contact details
they are also known as peer reviewed articles
Database search techniques
use the connecting words and/or the truncation symbol * enables a
word to be searched by its stem, eg. manag* searches for manage, manager, management, etc.
the wildcard symbol ? ensures different spellings are searched, eg. Globali?ation searches for globalisation (AUS) or globalization (USA)
