Database Research Strategies and Advanced Search Tips
In this workshop, learn some practical ways to increase the effectiveness of your database searches. As databases have become larger, searching has actually become more difficult to do well without knowing more about how these databases are being developed and managed today. We’ll discuss using Boolean searching tools to manipulate search results, how to engage with database thesauri and a controlled vocabulary, linked subject headings, setting up search alerts, and more. A useful workshop for any research-oriented faculty or graduate students, and for those who teach research in their courses. Led by research librarian Justin Savage.
