8 Concepts and Synonyms… IMPROVED surgeryrobot* operation procedure heart cardiac

9 Search Strategies - Using OR Use “AND” or “OR” to focus your search “OR” Finds articles that contain either term, but not necessarily both heartcardiac

10 Search Strategies - Using AND “AND” Finds articles that contain BOTH concepts surgeryrobot*

11 Use AND and OR surgeryrobot* operation procedure heart cardiac AND OR robot* AND (heart OR cardiac) AND (surgery OR operation OR procedure)

12 What’s the Right Tool For the Job? NEEDBooksArticles USE this tool Catalog Periodical Indexes and Databases Databases Library Homepage

13 How to find articles Databases: Indexes / Abstracts / Full Text MOST databases contain Citations MANY databases contain Abstracts SOME databases contain Full Text Search by using keywords Consider: Multidisciplinary vs. Specialized databases Library Homepage

It provides links to information that might also be helpful to your search. Look for "SFX Links" or the SFX button and logo: Full Text and SFX

15 SFX Illustrated X Databases do NOT talk to each other… SFX …try SFX instead! Found a citation here. Where is the Full Text?

16 SFX Step 1 - Find a Citation Starting in EiVillage2, searching the Compendex Database

17 SFX Step 2 - Click on SFX Look for or a link, such as "SFX links"

18 SFX Step 3 - SFX Displays Results SFX creates links if it finds the item in other databases.

19 SFX Step 4 - Jump to a new database In this example, SFX led us to the Proquest Database.

20 SFX Step 5 - Follow link in new database to full text
