Each database applies subject headings to articles, which allows you to search for articles by topic. By using a database's thesaurus, you can map your own key terms to the database's subject headings, which will allow you to find articles more efficiently.
Search for "career counsling" using the thesaurus within Business Source Elite, ERIC, or PsycINFO to find articles related to this class.
