Helpful Hints for Keyword Searches in Summon
Searching within databases can be more time consuming than using Summon, but there are advantages to this research strategy:
The following databases are useful for finding articles related to Indigenous publishing. For a more comprehensive list, see the Articles page of our First Nations and Indigenous Studies research guide.
Each database may have their own way and limitations of searching within the database. Some may use "And," "Or," quotation marks and other search strategies in the above box, but some may not. If you are not getting the results you expected within a database, make sure the search is worded the way the database works.
