Searching Techniques: Brainstorm Before you begin your research in a database, write out a few detailed sentences about your topic. Underline the main words in these sentences. From the description that you wrote, create a list of related keywords and phrases. |

Come up with synonyms - other words or phrases that have the same meaning - for your terms. Don't forget to list alternative spellings, abbreviations, and acronyms for words on your list. You should also identify words that have broader or narrower meanings than your original terms.
