Notes de l'éditeur

  1. WelcomeSent out request for questions.Feel free to comment/ask questions as we go along
  2. Jane:our road map for today. We’re going to start out by talking a little bit about search tactics…how to construct a good searchThen we’ll look at WB, PQ, SIRS and WC offer for advanced searching
  3. Mention: Search Research blog offers a search challenge on Wednesday
  4. What steps do you use when starting a search? Or thinking about information.If you want to use your typing tool, go down to the bottom of your screen—you should see a little “A”. Click on that and then click on the screen and start typing.We will sit here until you come up with some steps….KeywordsStop and ThinkThink about what kind of information I’m looking forPurpose
  5. Stop and think:-what do you need? What does your answer “look like”?-where would be the best place to start?-what do you already know?
  6. Jane: When searching, don’t be like Three Blind Mice! 1)Try, try again—think of synonyms for the term you used. 2) Google offers “Did you mean x?” Some databases have that or “Suggested Topics” to help you search. 3) Can you think of a good example to demonstrate this one?Jewelry—example: one example someone wanted to know about jewelry. Start with the term jewelry—then narrow down based upon results/limiters.
