SOC WORK 461/463: Applied Research

You can use a combination of search operators to conduct advanced Google searches. Here are three strategies:

• Search a specific website with site: followed by the website's URL
  • Example: site:greenbaywi.gov 
• Search for an exact phrase using quotation marks
  • Example: "gender identity" 
• Search for related terms using OR. Results will have one or more of the terms.
  • Example: transgender OR nonbinary

Use a combination of these techniques to efficiently search municipality websites. For example: "sexual orientation" OR "gender identity" OR "transgender" OR "gender expression" OR "gender nonconformance" site:greenbaywi.gov

These two newspaper databases each include different Wisconsin newspapers. For a complete picture, it’s best to search both.
