Quotation marks: when searching for a specific 2-3 word topic or phrase, enclose the words in quotation marks for better results; for example:
Multiple keywords: powerful databases allow you to enter multiple “keywords” for better results.
TAKE CONTROL: Advice
Keyword (like Google): provides everything that matches, including some very strange results. May give too many results to find the good stuff.
Subject keyword: provides better results, but may still give too many results to look through.
Subject Search: very specific, provides the best results, but may be too narrow and limited; important information may be missed.
Wildcard character: the asterisk (*) is a great tool to give you multiple results of a word ending. Consider the search “child abuse.” Change the search to “child abus*” and you will get results from the words: abusing, abuse, abused, abuser, abusers, abuses, (most databases allow wildcard characters, check the help option).
