Find Articles

If you need help finding an article... Ask a Librarian!

Sentences or sentence fragments should not be used when database searching. Instead, researchers should use keyword or phrase searching.
Think of words that best describe the topic you are searching. Quotation marks are used to identify phrase searching (for example, "global warming" or "greenhouse gases.").
Concepts can be identified using various words so it is helpful to identify related terms as well.

Keyword(s)/phrase(s)	Empathy	Stewardship	Persuasive	Healing	Listening
