The document provides guidance on developing effective search strategies for research. It recommends starting with background research to generate keywords and search terms. Key terms should then be used in databases and catalogs, and sources should be evaluated. Effective search techniques include using Boolean operators like AND, OR and NOT to combine or exclude terms. Quotation marks and parentheses can help focus searches. Synonyms and truncation expand searches. Multiple databases should be searched systematically using consistent search terms and techniques.
