Transcript

  • 1. Searching!!
    • The Good Hunts --- and why they save you time!
  • 2. Search Query's
    • How do you start a search?
    • A good strategy is to work out your search on paper before going to the computer.
    • Select the major concepts to be searched.
    • Use these keywords to find search terms that match. Try using the database thesaurus to find appropriate search terms.
  • 3. Some Problems with ‘Google’ Searches
    • Google’s “strategies” are not universal
    • There are good Google searches and bad Google searches
    • Searching rules are not really rules
    • The rules are really for databases and advanced search screens
    • Most people don’t find or use the advanced screens or the databases
  • 4. Boolean Search Terms: Here’s how they work
    • When using AND, you only receive pages including both of your search terms, though not necessarily next to one another.
    • When using OR, you receive pages containing either one or both of your search terms.
    • The NOT operator is used to find pages including only the first term and excluding the second term.

  • 6. “ Phrase searching”
    • One of your best searching tools!
    • Use only for legitimate phrases, names, titles
        • Best example -- “vitamin A”
        • “ John Quincy Adams”
        • Titles “An Officer and a Gentleman”
        • “ to be or not to be”
    • Phrase searching is sometimes overused: not every group of words is a phrase
    • Sometimes “ANDing” is a better strategy
  • 7. Keyword Searching
    • You are a detective and the only clues you have for a missing persons case are the words &quot;red,&quot; &quot;blue,&quot; and &quot;green,&quot; these people could be a match. This is keyword searching.
    • RED + BLUE + GREEN
  • 8. Field Searching
    • If instead you knew your person had a red tie , blue shirt , and a green beret , you have a better chance of finding the right person. This is field searching.
    • Tie:RED and Shirt:BLUE and Beret:GREEN
