Adapting the searchAdapt the Search: NarrowingIf you are retrieving too many articles, focus your search by adding terms, limiting terms to particular fields, or by limiting your searches. Adapt the Search: Expanding
If you are retrieving too few articles, expand your search by removing terms
or searching for terms in keywords or full-text. Consider adding synonyms or
similar terms to your search if the ones you are using aren't very effective. Adapt the Search: Be FlexibleAbove all, be flexible in your searching. If one term doesn't work, try a different one. Approach your topic using as many search strategies as you can think of. There will never be one perfect search for your topic. It may take dozens of searches to retrieve all the necessary information. |
