Identify the keywords in your search
Come up with some alternative terms for your keywords
Build search statements

25. Search Operators
AND, OR, NOT, NEAR
AND can be used in Topic field, but not Publication Name or Source
NEAR cannot be used in Year Published field
NEAR/X where x = number of words (default 15)
All these are not case-sensitive: OR and Or and or is the same

26. Wildcards
Asterisk ‘*’ represents any group of characters
Hawaii* finds: Hawaii, Hawaiian, Hawaiians, Hawaii Island
Question mark ‘?’ represents any single character
Wom?n finds: women, woman
Dollar sign ‘$’ represents zero or 1 character
colo$r finds: color, colour

27. Phrase searching
Exact phrases should be enclosed in quotation marks
Phrases without quotes, will search for all terms individually in Title and Topic searches
E.g. a Topic search for “energy conservation” vs energy conservation (which would also bring back conservation of energy)
OK to use Wildcards, e.g. “energy conserv*” to bring back energy conservation and energy conserving;
m$croeconomic = macroeconomic and microeconomic
