  Andy walked into the Library and to his relief it was quiet because everybody was at a basketball game. He entered one of the empty consultation rooms, sat down, opened his laptop, and began to work. The night before, Andy decided that he was going to write about women and terrorism. He had more than enough books in his personal collection and some from the Library which he kept renewing that would help with his topic, but what he really needed was Scholarly Articles.
  
  Andy was going to write an overall history about women in terrorism/counterterrorism where he would focus on their roles and give specific examples from groups like Hezbollah, ISIS, or other terrorist group, versus female combatants/soldiers or those that work in national security agencies and the intelligence community. He wanted to do an analysis between the 2 factions to see where there was overlap and differences in recruitment, training, leadership opportunities and reasons for joining etc. to determine why there were similarities and variances.
  
  To organize his thoughts and figure out what each section of his book chapter would convey, Andy created an outline, this would also help him determine the information he would need. Now that he had a handle on the main theme of the book chapter, he wrote his Thesis Statement and before he began his literature search, he came up with a selection of both broad and narrow Search Terms:
  
  •    Girls, Women, Female, Gender, Soldier, Combatant
  •    Roles, Recruitment, Violence, Training, Leadership, Combat 
  •    Terrorism, Terrorist Organizations, Extremist Groups, Counterinsurgency, Counterterrorism, Jihad, Hezbollah, ISIS, Suicide Bomber, National Security, Intelligence Community
