You’re interested in researching cardiac tissue engineering. You construct a search string, enter it in an engineering database, and hit the search button...only to find that there are no relevant results. What can you try next? Check all that apply. *

Request a consultation through the Ask Us service to have a one-on-one meeting with a research librarian and troubleshoot.

Use the Tripsaver service, which will automatically recommend keywords and databases for a given topic.

Re-examine your search string to see if you’ve made an error in syntax, or made it too narrow.

Identify alternative databases in which to try your search string.

Put your search string into ORCiD, a database that indexes the vast majority of engineering resources.
