16. Searching Strategy Overview
Define your information need
What sort of information are you looking for?
Is it for specific information? - from a data book, encyclopaedia, dictionary or textbook
Is it general information within a subject area?
Does the search require more thought and information?
Who is going to use the information?
Is it for a clinician, researcher, student or a member of the public?

17. Choose your search terms
What are the key phrases and/or unique words that might appear in a website or article?
Are there synonyms, alternate spellings, plurals or capitals that should be considered?
What broader topic is the search part of or related to?

18. Decide which sources to use
What sources are appropriate? This can range from organizations’ websites and news articles to subject gateways and databases, journals, reference resources, e-books or reports and grey literature.

19. Review and revise your search
Be prepared to review and revise your search scope and strategy – by using other sources of information or other search terms or different combinations of terms or by using a different type of search
Try new sources of information (familiarity is sometimes too easy)
Start again near the beginning of this process if you need to
See the INASP “Introduction to Using the Internet” workshop

20. Full Boolean Searching
Use Logic Operators
AND OR
NOT
Many search engines allow the use of full Boolean searching with logical operators– AND, OR, NOT between search terms.
Relevancy Ranking is the sorting of the results of the search so that the most relevant documents are listed first. Many search engines offer relevancy ranking in search results

21. AND Operator (to combine two concepts)
the AND operator is used to combine two concepts e.g. hip AND fracture – in the shaded area

22. AND Operator (to combine three concepts)
the AND operator is used to combine three concepts e.g. hip AND fracture AND elderly – in the shaded area

23. OR Operator (info containing one or other term)
renal OR kidney – in the shaded area with the overlap in the middle having both search terms

24. NOT Operator (in one term or the other)
pig NOT guinea – in the shaded area
Venn Diagrams and Boolean Operators

25. Advanced Searching Techniques
Truncation
* or $ is inserted to find all alternative endings of a word (gyn*cology or child*)
Proximity Searching
NEXT or NEAR or parentheses e.g. (malaria parasite)
Case Sensitivity
only finds items spelled exactly as you type them
Truncation allows the search for a root word and all of it’s endings including plurals. The symbol used for truncation in most search engines is the asterisk (*). The help feature will give the information on using truncation in each search engine.
Most search Engines will allow proximity searching for terms next to each other – Proximity searching.
Phrase searching is also an option that allows for searching for words within a sentence or paragraph. This very useful for searching full-text databases.
Near Operator will also allow searches for words within a certain number of words of each other.
Example: ****************
Search engines case sensitivity in different ways. Some ignore capitalization these ones are said to be case insensitive. Some require that some capitalization, these are said to be case sensitive.

26. More Search Techniques
Field Specific Searching
Title
Date
URL
Language Restrictions and other limits
(to be discussed in the PubMed searching modules)
Relevancy Ranking
a grading that gives extra weight to a document when the search terms appear in the headline or are capitalized
every found document is calculated as 100% multiply by the angle formed by weights vector for request and weights vector for document found
Field Specific Searching involves searching for a search term in a specific field.
We can search the author field for publications by a specific author.
