Broad Exploration \u2014 Discovery Platforms<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n\n

\n Start broad to map out your topic, find useful keywords,\n and gather background context before moving into more\n detailed academic literature.\n <\/p>\n\n

Primary Tool<\/h4>\n\n \n University Library OneSearch \u2014 Search Something\n <\/a>\n\n

Objective<\/h4>\n\n

\n Define key concepts, discover primary subject terms,\n and check immediate full-text availability.\n <\/p>\n\n

Actionable Steps<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  1. \n Search your main topic idea\n (e.g., renewable energy policy<\/em>).\n <\/li>\n\n
  2. \n Note recurring subject headings, alternative terminology,\n and prominent authors.\n <\/li>\n\n
  3. \n Filter results by Peer-Reviewed Articles<\/strong>\n and publication year (e.g., the last 5 years) to gauge\n current trends.\n <\/li>\n <\/ol>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/article>\n\n\n \n\n
