Using OMNI
Using the default search on the Library website is not perfect, but knowing a few tips for ways to filter your results can help.
- Choose keywords that represent the concepts you are looking for explicitly. For example the search "racism child welfare" will yield a ton of results, but many won't be relevant to your needs. If you add the words "intergenerational trauma", it will enhance the results to make them more relevant.
- Use the Subject filters to narrow your results to subject matter that is more relevant to Child and Youth Care, and the topic you have chosen:
- Social Sciences
- Social Work
- Sociology
- Education
- Racism
- Children
- LGBTQ Studies
- and others... depending on your specific topic
