Research Tip:

The library search interface now includes a Concept Map feature that utilizes artificial intelligence to visually represent and connect related search terms. This interactive tool allows researchers to easily explore and refine their search by adding or excluding terms, discovering new keywords, and identifying synonyms. By improving search efficiency and effectiveness, the Concept Map helps researchers find the most relevant information more quickly and comprehensively. Find the Concept Map feature on the Research Tools menu on the left side of the results page. On a mobile device, tap the menu icon at the top left of the screen to access the Research Tools menu.
