The librarian pointed the student toward the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/libguides.depaul.edu\/businessdatabases\">Companies and Industries Research Guide<\/a>, specifically starting with Business Source Complete. They searched for &#8220;interior design&#8221; (in quotes), and the librarian explained how to limit to Industry Profiles and Market Research Reports using the facets on the left &#8212; under Source Types. They also limited geographically to the United States, removing any international reports. One of the results they found was the &#8220;Interior Design Services Industry (United States) Capital and Expenses Report from 2014,&#8221; helping the student out greatly.<\/p>\n<p>A researcher was looking for articles about the effect of physical exercise on well-being. The librarian helped the student narrow down her topic to psychological well-being and suggested starting with Academic Search Complete. Searching with the terms exercise and well-being didn&#8217;t find too much. The librarian was able to help the student discover a better search strategy: (exercise or physical activity) as a subject term and &#8220;happiness&#8221;. The results from that search were just what the student \u00a0was looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Easter!
