REL 3366: Advanced Studies in Western Religion

Step Two: Brainstorm Keywords

Here you need to:

  • figure out the main concepts from your topic/research question (getting background information helps with this step!), then    
  • brainstorm alternate keywords to use when searching. 

See below for examples and help:  a video in the upper left box for an example...or use the glossary in the upper right box for keywords! 

Generating Keywords

Finding More Keywords

You can keep finding keywords even after you've started searching!

Find a good article?  Use the "Keywords" or "Subjects" in the citation to find keywords that match your topic.

 

Credo Keywords

Use the "Mind Map" feature in Credo to find new keywords!
