Principles of literature searching
• Define your question
• Identify significant keywords
• Identify related terms
• Identify broader and narrower terms
• Watch out for spelling and terminology e.g. English vs American
![Page 19: MA Film Television and Animation: Library Induction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/546f870bb4af9f300b8b45a6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Identify your keywords
• Start with your research question and make a list of key, relevant topics
• From these try to make a list of ‘keywords’ to search for in the catalogue/databases
![Page 20: MA Film Television and Animation: Library Induction](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/546f870bb4af9f300b8b45a6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• Narrow search eg. product AND design

• Exclude words eg. Computer games NOT video
• Search for phrases eg. “human computer interaction”
• Broaden search eg. design* (finds design, designing, designers etc)

Evaluating Information• Authority : Who is the author? What is their knowledge
base/qualifications? How have they carried out their research?
• Relevance : Is this what I need? Will it answer my question? Is it at the right level?
• Intent : What is the purpose of information e.g. financial gain, propaganda, academic etc?
• Objectivity : Balanced view? Opposing views represented? Links to supporting information?
• Currency: How old is this information? When was it last updated and by whom?

Managing your research
• Time management. Aim for date to complete literature search
• Allow time to find material, access and read it.
• Allow time to collect inter library loans, visit other libraries if some material has to be sourced elsewhere.
• Keep a log book detailing full bibliographic details of materials used.
