S&RE Library Research - Water
When using the Library Search Engine (Primo), enter specific search terms to help narrow your focus. For example, searching for "Water Security" is more helpful than simply searching for "Water" and—depending on your particular topic—"Low Impact Development" or "Desalination" might be even better.
Consider also filtering your search results by media type (e.g. books, streaming videos &c) or arranging them by most recent publication date. Newer is not always better, but more recent scholarship does have the benefit of hindsight. Finding current information is especially important for fast-changing fields and technologies, whether it be wastewater treatment or court rulings on pipelines and water rights.
If you find resources particularly helpful for your research interests, use the catalog entry to your advantage and search for other books or media with similar subject headings and keywords.
