Check out this video to learn how to manipulate your search to get the resources you need.

Before you begin your search, compile a list of potential keywords related to global studies. For example:

• globalization
• global networks
• global cities
• globalism
• transnationalism
• internationalism

Keywords can be combined with other keywords using the AND operator to narrow your topic. For example:

• globalization AND media
• globalization AND women
• globalization AND poverty

Keywords can be combined with synonyms using OR to broaden your search. For example:

• globalization OR transnationalism

Quotations can be used to search phrases. For example:

• "global studies"
• "international relations"

Putting these terms in quotes means that the words will be searched as a phrase rather than each word separately.

Terms in quotes can be combined with Boolean operators. For example:

• globalization AND "human rights"
• globalization AND "information technology"
• globalization OR "global studies"
