Topic 5 : Search Strategies Basics

 For this week I learn about keywords, subject headings, phrases & single words. What can I say; keyword and subject heading use a standardized vocabulary, and usually give you more specific resources on your topic. Subject heading can be 1, 2 or more words, a phrase, a city, a country, a person, etc. Next, we learn about Brainstorming for search terms. There 3 types Library Subject Headings, Science Subject Headings and the last one are Thesaurus of Pyhchological Index Terms.

After that, I learn about Boolean Searching.


Boolean searching allows you to group words together in an electronic databases or environment such as theWWW to receive a number of different types of results. It allows you to expand (return more information or matches) a search by using OR or limit (return less information) a search by using the word AND.
—  Example:
          AND, OR and NOT
