Tips for Searching in Encyclopedias and Handbooks:

1. Choose specific encyclopedias from various areas that are related to your topic:
   1. Your topic: Use of social media by adolescents who attempt suicide
   2. Your encyclopedias: Oxford Handbook of Cyberpsychology, Encyclopedia of Adolescents, Encyclopedia of Social Work
2. Search for broader topics, but be aware of which encyclopedia you're in. If you're in the Oxford Handbook of Cyberpsychology, you don't need to include terms for "social media."
   1. Your encyclopedia: The Oxford Handbook of Cyberpsychology.
   2. Your terms: suicide OR adolescents
   3. Article found: Adolescent and Emerging Adult Perception and Participation in Problematic and Risky Online Behavior
3. Check the references!
