For most databases, if you wish to search for a phrase, rather than individual key words, you can place quotation marks (“…”) around the phrase. For example if you are looking for articles for the essay question: Examine the impact of management style on teamwork in organizations, you can type “management style” in the search box. The database will list all of the articles containing that phrase. If you type the words in without quotation marks, the database will list all of the articles that contain the words management and style in separate places. You may end up with a list containing many irrelevant articles, for example articles about style in fashion or architecture.
