Discovery is where you search the CapU Library. You can start your search at the library's homepage.
To improve your search results in Discovery, use:
- two or three search terms that represent the main aspects of your research.
- “quotation marks” around phrases where you want an exact match. (Example: "cell membrane" instead of cell membrane)
- use the limiters to filter your results (Example: limit by year of publication, or limit to only scholarly articles)
- in some searches, use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard to truncate. for example: beet* will find results with beet or beetroot
When you change your search terms, you'll get different results. Try more specific, less specific, and similar terms (synonyms).
- beet is more specific (narrower term) than root vegetable
- beet is less specific (broader term) than beta vulgaris or betalains
Tip: Refer to your course textbook and other articles to find more search term ideas related to your research.
