How to construct a searchHow to construct a search Plan your search strategy before you start your search

◦ Formulate your information need e.g. Stress factors in dairy cattle in South Africa

◦ Select the important keywords from this sentence e.g. stress, dairy, cattle , South Africa

◦ Always think of all the synonyms of words or terms e.g. (dairy or milk), (cattle or bovine or cow or cows)

◦ Combine your terms with and e.g. (dairy or milk) and (cattle or bovine or cow or cows) and “south africa”

Keep your search simple.

Remember your Boolean operators (and, or, not).

Keep in mind the different American and English spelling.

Two (or more) terms that are always used together, in

the same order, can be use as a term. (e.g. “babesia canis” and treatment)

Boolean operatorsBoolean operators AND Use AND to retrieve records containing both search terms: all terms must be

included in the record.Use AND to narrow your search and retrieve fewer records.

Example: elephants AND lions retrieve records containing both the keywords. 

OR Use OR to retrieve records containing either or both search terms.

Use OR to broaden your search and retrieve a greater number of records.Use OR for synonyms or spelling variations.

Remember always to put your terms in brackets when using "or" e.g. (dog or dog or canine)

 Example 1: milk OR dairy retrieves records containing either milk or dairy, or both the keywords.Example 3: behavior OR behaviour 

NOT Use NOT to exclude certain items from your search.

Caution: It is easy to exclude relevant terms; use the NOT operator with care! Example 1: “dog” not “tick” (will retrieve all articles containing the word dog, but

will exclude all articles containing the word tick)
