If you can't find what you need in MILO, it sometimes helps to try a different search tool. You can try one of these, and be sure to ask a librarian for assistance if you need it. 

For this assignment, the most effective search strategy varies a lot depending on which disorder you have chosen to research. However, here are some general tips that should help:

• Some of the disorders used in this assignment have multiple names or abbreviations. When searching for one of these, type the word "or" in between the different names, or full name/abbreviation. Examples:
  • severe combined immunodeficiency or SCID
  • autism or autism spectrum disorders or ASD
