Developing a Search Strategy

A good method of searching more effectively is to prepare a ldquosearch strategyrdquo This means choosing and organising search terms that are directly related to the subject you are researching

23October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

To search for information effectively you will need to

Identify important concepts and choose keywords

Developing a Search Strategy

24October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

Search Strategy Exercise

Pick a topic you might want to research How many words and short phrases can you find that describe the subject in both itrsquos broadest and narrowest terms

25October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

If you spend some time writing these words and

phrases down you will have a range of terms to

begin searching with

26

Many subjects are complex You may need to break your search down into separate concepts and carry out separate searches for each then combine the results

eg Learning incoherent dictionaries for sparse approximation using iterative projections and rotations

Break down Incoherent dictionaryDictionary learningSparse approximationIterative projections

Developing a Search Strategy

October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

27

These may need to include synonymseg dictionary glossary vocabulary

and related termseg Lie group methods mutual coherence approximation algorithm etc

Developing a Search Strategy

October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

Make sure that the terms you decide to include is

relevant to your research area

Truncation (wildcards)

Search for word variations (eg singularplural

or different spelling)

comput finds computing computerhellip

behavi finds behavior behaviour behaving

womn finds woman or women

28October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

Phrase Searching

To search for an exact phrase enclose the phrase in ldquoquotation marksrdquo

29October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

The query energy consumption will retrieve

records that contain the exact phrase

energy consumption

October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk 30

AND

computer AND cognitive

Search for articles that contain both of the search terms

Using AND narrows your search

OR

computer OR cognitive

Search for articles that contain one or both of the search terms

(useful for synonyms)

Using OR broadens your search

NOT

computer NOT cognitiveSearch for articles that contain the first term

and do not contain the second term

Using NOT narrows your search

Developing a Search Strategy

A good method of searching more effectively is to prepare a ldquosearch strategyrdquo This means choosing and organising search terms that are directly related to the subject you are researching

23October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

To search for information effectively you will need to

Developing a Search Strategy

Search Strategy Exercise

Pick a topic you might want to research How many words and short phrases can you find that describe the subject in both itrsquos broadest and narrowest terms

25October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

If you spend some time writing these words and

phrases down you will have a range of terms to

begin searching with

26

Many subjects are complex You may need to break your search down into separate concepts and carry out separate searches for each then combine the results

eg Learning incoherent dictionaries for sparse approximation using iterative projections and rotations

Break down Incoherent dictionaryDictionary learningSparse approximationIterative projections

Developing a Search Strategy

October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

27

These may need to include synonymseg dictionary glossary vocabulary

and related termseg Lie group methods mutual coherence approximation algorithm etc

Make sure that the terms you decide to include is

relevant to your research area

Truncation (wildcards)

Search for word variations (eg singularplural

or different spelling)

comput finds computing computerhellip

behavi finds behavior behaviour behaving

womn finds woman or women

28October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

Phrase Searching

To search for an exact phrase enclose the phrase in ldquoquotation marksrdquo

Search Strategy Exercise

Pick a topic you might want to research How many words and short phrases can you find that describe the subject in both itrsquos broadest and narrowest terms

25October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

If you spend some time writing these words and

phrases down you will have a range of terms to

begin searching with

26

Many subjects are complex You may need to break your search down into separate concepts and carry out separate searches for each then combine the results

eg Learning incoherent dictionaries for sparse approximation using iterative projections and rotations

Break down Incoherent dictionaryDictionary learningSparse approximationIterative projections

These may need to include synonymseg dictionary glossary vocabulary

and related termseg Lie group methods mutual coherence approximation algorithm etc

Make sure that the terms you decide to include is

relevant to your research area

Truncation (wildcards)

Search for word variations (eg singularplural

or different spelling)

comput finds computing computerhellip

behavi finds behavior behaviour behaving

womn finds woman or women

Phrase Searching

To search for an exact phrase enclose the phrase in ldquoquotation marksrdquo

29October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

The query energy consumption will retrieve

records that contain the exact phrase

Using AND narrows your search

OR

computer OR cognitive

Search for articles that contain one or both of the search terms

(useful for synonyms)

Using OR broadens your search

Developing a Search Strategy

A good method of searching more effectively is to prepare a ldquosearch strategyrdquo This means choosing and organising search terms that are directly related to the subject you are researching

23October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

Search Strategy Exercise

Pick a topic you might want to research How many words and short phrases can you find that describe the subject in both itrsquos broadest and narrowest terms

25October 2015 library-sandeqmulacuk

If you spend some time writing these words and

phrases down you will have a range of terms to

begin searching with

26

Many subjects are complex You may need to break your search down into separate concepts and carry out separate searches for each then combine the results

eg Learning incoherent dictionaries for sparse approximation using iterative projections and rotations

Break down Incoherent dictionaryDictionary learningSparse approximationIterative projections

27

These may need to include synonymseg dictionary glossary vocabulary

and related termseg Lie group methods mutual coherence approximation algorithm etc

Make sure that the terms you decide to include is

relevant to your research area

Truncation (wildcards)

Search for word variations (eg singularplural

or different spelling)

comput finds computing computerhellip

behavi finds behavior behaviour behaving

womn finds woman or women

Phrase Searching

To search for an exact phrase enclose the phrase in ldquoquotation marksrdquo
