Databases collect articles and other sources for you to use in research.

Articles help you find arguments to help guide your research as well as examples from scientific experiments, scholarly research, and professional experience. These help prove your points and make your own research more trustworthy to readers.

Summon is a tool to help you locate articles, ebooks, and more. Begin your research here! Use this search to limit your results to just information from the field of education.

Typically in your research, you will want to use at least 2-3 keywords in order to explore the connections within your topic.

These keywords should be important people, places, or concepts. However, it's important to keep your keywords brief but meaningful.

Additionally, keywords like "student union" can have multiple meanings. If you aren't seeing the results you want in a a search, try substituting a different word that means the same thing (see the chart below for examples).

When all else fails, focus on the issue the student union is trying to solve rather than the building itself.
