Tips and Tricks

Stuck? That's what I'm here for! Email me or make an appointment with me today.

 

1. Try searching the overviews for specific topics, places, and events.

The overviews are written with your interests in mind.

Yes, there is a filter for Economics, but try typing in trade to get more targeted results!

There won't always be a result for your term, but give it a shot.

2. Add conditions if you have too many results,
remove them if you have too few.

Not every filter combo will get you results. If you have too few (or none at all!), try removing one or more.
3. Try again! Did tariffs only get you one result? Try imports! Or trade! Or economics! 
Always go through synonyms and related terms to find more sources.
