7 E-journal portal You can : 1. Search by journal title; 2. Check alphabetical list; 3. Browse journals by Subjects. 7

8 Search strategies (1) Identify main concepts Write down your topic as a sentence, phrase, question or a series of descriptive words. Then pull out the main concepts from your topic statement.  E.g. Media and politics in Hong Kong media; politics; hong kong Choice of search words (related key terms/ synonyms): Brainstorm and use thesauri to identify additional keyword search terms corresponding to your main concepts.  media, journalism, etc.  politics, political, etc.  hong kong, hongkong, hk 8

9 Search strategies (2) Combine your keyword terms using Boolean operators (AND / OR ) and wildcards (e.g. *, !) ▫AND: searches records that mention both search terms, this narrows the search  e.g. media and hong kong ( 必須同時出現 ) ▫OR: finds records in which one or both search terms appear, this broadens the search  e.g. media or journalism ( 只要任何一個出現 ) 9

10 Search strategies (3) Wildcards / Truncation: retrieves all variant endings of that word ▫1-Search: * ▫EBSCOhost: * ▫ProQuest: * ▫LexisNexis Academic: ! ▫OPAC: * e.g. journali* -- retrieves all words that start with JOURNALI such as journalist, journalism, journalistic, etc. 10

11 Search strategies (4) Quotation Marks “ ”: search the words as an exact phrase, this narrows down the search e.g. “education reform”, “hong kong” ( )Parentheses: gives priority and order in the search statement e.g. (media or journalism) and hong kong Be prepared to narrow / expand your search results by using database-specific features / changing your keywords 11
