Types of searches There are several ways to execute searches. The most frequently used ways of simple as well as advanced searches are elaborated below:   Simple or Basic search: One can simply type a term, word, phrase, etc as follows:   Mechanics This would display the search results related the term Mechanics wherever the term is used in the documents and databases. Jaipur 1st November, 2009

Advance search: Boolean Logics A AND B A OR B A B A NOT B Jaipur 1st November, 2009

Searching- AND Operator Electricity AND Magnetism Organic chemistry AND Inorganic chemistry AND operator narrows the search and retrieving only those documents that contain both of the keyword entered. Jaipur 1st November, 2009

Searching- OR Operator Heat OR Thermodynamics The OR operator expands the search by retrieving those documents in which either of or both of the keyword appear. This operator is usually used for: Synonymous or equivalent terms Spelling variations Related terms Jaipur 1st November, 2009

Searching- NOT Operator B Chemistry NOT Organic chemistry The NOT operator limits the search by retrieving only first keyword but not second, even if the first word appears in that document too. The NOT operator should be used with care, as it is easy to eliminate relevant documents as well as irrelevant. Jaipur 1st November, 2009

Citation and References Referencing is a standardized method of acknowledging sources of information and ideas that you have used in your assignment in a way that uniquely identifies their source. Referencing is necessary to avoid plagiarism, and to enable readers to follow-up and read more fully the cited author’s arguments.
