Search Tips for Online search

• Search more than 1 database

• Study “help menu”, “how to” from each database

• Use "quotation marks" to search for exact phrases

E.g. “health care reform” “health services access”

• Use the truncation symbol to find multiple forms of a word.

– * is used as a right-handed truncation character only; it will find all forms of a word.E.g. searching for econom* will find "economy", "economics", economical", etc.

– ? is used to replace any single character, either inside the word or the right end of the word. .E.g. searching for "wom?n" will find "woman" and "women."
