Search strategies (1)
• Identify main concepts
 Write down your topic as a sentence, phrase,
question or a series of descriptive words. Then
pull out the main concepts from your topic
statement.
 E.g. Media and politics in Hong Kong
media; politics; hong kong
• Choice of search words (related key terms/ synonyms):
 Brainstorm and use thesauri to identify additional
keyword search terms corresponding to your main
concepts.
 media, journalism, etc.
 politics, political, etc.
 hong kong, hongkong, hk
10
Search strategies (2)
• Combine your keyword terms using Boolean
operators (AND / OR ) and wildcards (e.g. * , !)
▫ AND: searches records that mention both search
terms, this narrows the search
 e.g. media and hong kong (必須同時出現)
▫ OR: finds records in which one or both search
terms appear, this broadens the search
 e.g. media or journalism (只要任何一個出現)
11
Search strategies (3)
• Wildcards / Truncation: retrieves all
variant endings of that word
▫
▫
▫
▫
▫
1-Search: *
EBSCOhost: *
ProQuest: *
LexisNexis Academic: !
OPAC: *
e.g. journali* -- retrieves all words that start with JOURNALI such
as journalist, journalism, journalistic, etc.
12
Search strategies (4)
• Quotation Marks “ ”: search the words as an
exact phrase, this narrows down the search
• e.g. “education reform”, “hong kong”
• ( )Parentheses: gives priority and order in the
search statement
e.g. (media or journalism) and hong kong
• Be prepared to narrow / expand your search
results by using database-specific features /
changing your keywords
