The following techniques are useful when researching ABST topics:

• Brainstorm synonyms, words that have the same (or similar) meaning. You will often discover synonyms and related concepts as you're conducting your research.
  • Example: Indigenous, Aboriginal, First Nations, Native
• Use OR to indicate synonyms while searching
  • Example: lndigenous OR Aboriginal OR "First Nations" OR Native
• Use quotation marks to indicate when words are used together as a phrase
  • Example: "First Nations"
• Use the asterisk (* symbol) for words with variable endings
  • Example: Canad* = Canada and Canadian
