COMM 297 Bown: Find books

1. Use library tools first. If we don't have it, go to step 2.
2. Try Google Scholar as a fallback plan. If that doesn't work (like, you hit a paywall)...
3. Use SU Libraries' Interlibrary Loan service when all else fails. If you have citation info for a source you can't get, request it through ILL.

Example research question: "Does journalism coverage of protests impact public perception of the movements?" (agenda setting theory)

Keywords and synonyms:  journalism, news, protests, public perception 

Start out using a broad-to-narrow keyword search strategy. Search the SURF box embedded below using one or two keywords. Narrow results further by adding one or two more keyword.

1. Use the Books limiter and search: journalism, protests. This produces 460 books.

2. Add public perception - notice your results are fewer yet more specific. This produces 47 books.

3. Could this and other books be relevant? Let's discuss how. Global media perceptions of the United States: the Trump effect.
