Using the Advanced Search option, try different operators to combine terms, like "NEAR 5." This operator looks for your search terms within five words of each other. In this case, you will find "insulin pump" as well as "insulin infusion pump." See?
You can use your results to improve your list of search terms. For example, in the article below, the authors describe the terms they used to search MEDLINE, a medical database you'll probably see in college. Guess what? You can use those terms too! Click on the article to open it and see.
Search tips in eLibrary:
Choose "Advanced Search"
Check the box next to "Search within scholarly journals only." (There is a little graduation cap symbol that signifies peer-reviewed journals throughout the database.)
You can limit results to a certain date range, so that you only retrieve articles that are as recent as you need them to be.
Enter your terms, using quotation marks and Boolean operators if necessary, and perform the search.
To find these, I opened POWER Library and selected "General Reference." Then I clicked on the EBSCO icon and selected EbscoHost Web. I chose Advanced Search, specified peer-reviewed full-text articles, and searched "insulin pump." Notice that Ebsco databases use autofill to suggest controlled vocabulary terms.
