I am looking for journal articles on economic benefit cost for safety in public schools, which database engine should I use?
Answer
Hello Jennifer
If you go to Ebscohost, the Education Research Complete database is specific to educational topics. I would try it. If you like, you can also combine it with the Business Search Premier database and search across both by checking the boxes next to each and then clicking continue to go to the searchbox and put in your search. I would try different terms when doing your search. You can start out with the terms: cost benefit AND school safety and see what you find and then expand to include terms that are synonyms of the ones you are using to see if you can get better results. Also make sure tha when entering your terms you watch how the system matches what you enter or offers you a different term. Do also make sure when you search that you limit your searches by checking the full-text and peer-review boxes below the search box.
If you need further assistance with your search please contact me at 785-248-2536 or email me back.
Thanks.
