Use the following common search concepts as a basis for your search where appropriate. These are provided to you to assist in your project as well as provide a blueprint for what a complete search concept looks like.
Pre-made concepts are called Search Hedges. Search hedges can be validated, tested through rigorous use to make sure they are thorough and complete. These hedges are commonly used among library staff but have not been validated.
If you use or adapt one of these search hedges, it is common to cite them as a reference in your final paper. Please see the following example for how to search:
