Search more effectively in bibliographic databases

When you search for articles, don't rely strictly on keyword searches.

Authors: After identifying important articles, search for more articles by those authors.

Descriptors: Search in databases (like EconLit) for an article you've read.
Look at the descriptors used by the database to describe it.
Perform new searches based on those descriptors.

Organizations: Organizations publish reports, too. If you identify a relevant organization, search for that organization as an author.

Advanced Search Screen: there are many options such as document type (case studies, book chapters, etc.), language or geographic limiters, NASIC codes, and so on.
