Search strategies
At the Advanced Search screen:
- Type a keyword or "phrase" in the first Search box and click on the Search button.
- Use quotation marks to indicate a phrase.
Varying your search
If you have too many results, modify your search. The easiest way is to go to the top of your Search Results screen and click on the Edit Search link. Here you find a duplicate of your search, complete with your original keywords. Modify your search by adding keywords in the additional Search boxes. Separate each keyword with the appropriate Boolean operators (AND, OR, or NOT) from the pull-down menus on the left.
Examples:
-
internet AND "web design" narrows your search, finding only those articles which mention both the Internet and Web design.
-
web OR internet widens your search by including articles which refer to the Web or the Internet or both.
-
web NOT arachnida narrows your search, excluding articles which refer to arachnida (spiders).
Truncation and wildcards
You can search for different forms of the same word or for words with different spellings using truncation and wildcards.
-
The symbol * stands for different endings of the same basic word. nurs* will find articles containing the words nurse, nurses and nursing (as well as nursery or nurseries, so be careful).
-
The ? symbol is a wildcard used to replace any single character in a word. organi?ation will find both organization and organisation.
Search in particular fields
-
The pull-down menu to the right of each search box allows you to restrict your keyword search to particular fields in the record of each article. The default is All Fields. If you choose Keywords, your search terms will only be run against the author-supplied keywords.
-
Use Advanced Search to find a known article. For example, if you want to find the article by Lesley Rogers on "Saliva sampling to assess cortisol levels in unrestrained common marmosets and the effect of behavioral stress" in the American Journal primatology, you can use the following search: rogers (Author) AND "saliva sampling to assess cortisol" (Article Titles) AND "american journal of primatology" (Publication Titles).
