Research Strategy
• Finding the right search term• Start big and then use patterns you
see in the results list to narrow your topic
• Most resources will have built into their system a “thesaurus” or
“subject” or suggested topics links, use them
• Ask a librarian or your professor for suggestions
Assignment
• What types of newborn screenings are conducted to detect PKU?
• Is a restricted diet sufficient to prevent long term effects of PKU?
Google and Wikipedia

source materials
