My Favorite Research Tip: The asterisk (*)
Many students have discovered that the asterisk (*) is used to search for variations on a word. For example teen* will find the words teen, teens, teenager, teenagers, etc. Remember to use this truncation feature in order to get greater flexibility in your search strategy.
