Searching for Topics

Each of these topic examples link to either an online encyclopedia search, or a basic fUSIon search for related resources. To narrow down the search results in fUSIon, try adding more terms to the base topic (e.g. searching for Aleut storytelling instead of simply storytelling).

Once you have run a search, you can take advantage of the filters on the left side of the page to narrow down your results by categories such as format/source type, library location, publication year, and language.

Music
"Music" is an incredibly broad topic, so this example link routes to a fUSIon search for music of Uzbekistan. Change the country in the search box for different results.
Sports
"Sports" is another broad area, so this link routes to a fUSIon search on football in Sweden. Change the country in the search box for different results. Try also: "sporting culture" or the name of another sport.
Education
This is another extremely broad category; so the linked fUSIon search is for education and nomadic Mongolia. You can swap out "nomadic Mongolia" for a different culture or country. Try also: educational system, higher education, elementary education, secondary education, universities, etc.
