Tips for Searching MLA

• Look for MeSH Terms to focus your results. An asterick next to a Heading means that it is a main focus of the article. Subheading in MeSH terms will help you refine further, e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder/*psychology indicates that this article is mainly focused on psychology in Autism Spectrum Disorder.
• The search results will default to Newest order. Change the sort to Relevance to bring the best matches to the top of the list.

Tips for Book Searching

• Use an asterick to search for multiple endings, e.g., autis* searches for autism OR autistic and neurodiver* searches for neurodivergent OR neurodivergency OR neurodiverse OR neurodiversity etc.
• If you find a title of interest, look at the Subjects for links to more resources on that topic or new search terms to try
