Finding the right keywords is one of the most challenging parts of the research process. Even for librarians!
For this assignment, there may not be a lot of Spanish (or English!) scholarly sources written directly about your topic. So to find appropriate, peer-reviewed sources, you might have to broaden your search.
Here are some examples of topics about which you might find scholarly sources in Spanish:
Also, keep in mind that the databases don't always use the same vocabulary you do. If one term doesn't work, try another.
More tips:
Can't find a book or article through Belk Library subscriptions? Use our free Interlibrary Loan service and we'll get it for you from another library.
Search Belk Library's online system to find both library materials and articles in our databases. Use the search box below to do a basic search on library materials and databases.
All of these databases let you search in English, but allow you to limit your results to just Spanish articles.
These databases are just in Spanish. Remember to use Spanish search terms! So not "film" but "pelicula."
