SEARCH STRATEGYD ETERM INE THE INFO RM ATIO N NEED
From AZ Quotes, http://www.azquotes.com/quote/526112 6
These techniques can be applied to most search engines & tools Boolean operators – And, Or, Not
And – narrows Or - broadens Not - narrows
Truncation – Using an * to search for multiple words with similar roots at the same time
Example: photograph* (finds photograph, photographer, photographs, photography)
Advanced Search Techniques – quotation marks and parentheses
Use quotation marks when you want to search for a name or phrase and to ensure that the concept is searched as a whole Examples: “Erich Fromm”, “positive psychology”
Use parentheses when using multiple Boolean operators to nest keywords Example: (art or music) and therapy
