Tips: This list includes databases with a scientific or economic focus (the first two options) and databases with a historical focus (the last two options). Academic Search Premier overlaps both areas and includes information that is both scientific and historical. In any of the databases, start with a few broad keywords, but then add in more keywords or use the narrowing options on the sides of the search results pages to clarify your results. You will likely need to use more than one database to find sources.
Tips: This list includes databases with a scientific focus (the first two options), an interdisciplinary focus that includes results from newspapers and government sources (the third option), and a business database (the last option). Start with a broad search like "food safety communication" in these databases to see what some of the techniques and audiences are for this topic.
