We can\u2019t do anything about Chicago\u2019s cold winds or early sunset, but we can help find the best tools and strategies to take your research paper to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the topics we helped with recently:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>parental influences on career selection<\/li>\n<li>education vs. experience for job seekers<\/li>\n<li>the bat population in Chicago<\/li>\n<li>Chicago Tribune archives<\/li>\n<li>animation books<\/li>\n<li>the qualifications of science writers<\/li>\n<li>a neuroscientist\u2019s education and career path<\/li>\n<li>pinot noir<\/li>\n<li>auto insurance consumer statistics<\/li>\n<li>augmented reality and grocery shopping<\/li>\n<li>pets and companion animals in Chicago<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Question:<\/strong><br \/>\nI am working on finding articles about the NCAA, and why student athletes should be paid. My topic is why the billion dollar college athletics industry should be compensating players. I&#8217;m interested in finding any type of info.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><br \/>\nWe can start with the <a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.depaul.edu\/exercise-sports-recreation-resources\">Research Guide for Exercise Science, Sports &amp; Recreation<\/a>. If you click on the &#8220;databases&#8221; tab, you&#8217;ll see some databases listed that we recommend you use for this topic. Let&#8217;s try the first one, EBSCOhost, then select Academic Search Complete and Business Source Complete. Now we\u2019re ready to search! Type in &#8220;college athlete&#8221; in the first search box, and &#8220;paid OR pay OR compensat*\u201d in the second search box. Trial and error is key when searching a database, so be sure to try a few combinations of words and phrases for the best results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Search Tips: <\/strong><br \/>\nAdding an asterisk at the end of a search term tells the database to pull up variants of the word such as compensate, compensation, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Use OR to connect two or more similar concepts, which broadens your article results. By using OR, you&#8217;re telling the database that any of these search terms can be present in the article results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The wind off the lake is freezing, it gets dark at 4:00pm and you\u2019re wearing three sweaters.
