Remember that you will need to use keywords, not full sentences, when searching the databases
Start out simple. Search using one of the main concepts (keywords) you identified
Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase, but do not put quotation marks around your entire search.

If you get too few results, use OR to broaden your search and to include related keywords. These could be broader, narrower, related terms or synonyms
If you still get too few results, try searching in a different database

If you get too many results, you will need to add in keywords representing your second concept using AND to narrow your search.
