Key Databases

Select words to search. This can be tricky as there is some variation in search words between databases. To ensure best results when searching, brainstorm several search words or consider using a database thesaurus to figure out the correct subject term for a concept e.g. the Business Source Complete database thesaurus states for "Family businesses" Use "Family-owned business enterprises"
