数据库搜索提示

  • L.ibrary databases是可搜索的资源集合,包括全文文章,书籍和百科全书。
  • 搜索在g library databases is different than searching Google. Best results are achieved when using关键词与连接Boolean Operators
  • 一种pplying限制器如全文,发布日期,资源类型,语言,地理位置和主题有助于改进搜索结果。
  • UtilizingPhrasesorFields,除了意识停止单词那可以集中搜索并检索更有用的结果。
  • 有问题吗?通过图书馆与图书管理员联系L.ive Chat寻求帮助。

Boolean Operatorsconnect keywords or concepts logically to retrieve relevant articles, books, and other resources. There are three Boolean Operators:

  • 一种ND
  • OR
  • 不是

使用一种ND

  • Narrows搜索结果
  • Connects two or more keywords/concepts
  • 一种ll与“和”连接的关键字/概念必须在文章或资源中出现在搜索结果列表中

Example: The result list will include resources that include both keywords -- "distracted driving" and "texting" -- in the same article or resource, represented in the shaded area where the circles intersect (area shaded in purple).

使用OR

  • 拓宽搜索结果("OR means more!")
  • 连接两个或多个同义词或相关关键字/概念
  • Resources appearing in the results list will include一个y与或连接器连接的术语

Example: The result list will include resources that include the keyword "texting" OR the keyword "cell phone" (entire area shaded in blue); either is acceptable.

使用不是

  • Excludes搜索中的关键字或概念
  • 通过删除包含关键字或术语与非连接器连接的资源来缩小结果
  • 谨慎使用

Example: The result list will include all resources that includes the term "car" (green area) but will exclude any resource that includes the term "motorcycle" (purple area) even though the term car may be present in the resource.

一种library database searches for keywords throughout the entire resource record including the full-text of the resource, subject headings, tags, bibliographic information, etc.

关键词

  • Natural language words or short phrases that describe a concept or idea
  • 由于全文搜索,可以检索太少或不相关的结果(作者将使用哪些单词编写此主题?)
  • 在搜索中提供灵活性
  • Must consider synonyms or related terms to improve search results
  • 提示:建立一个关键字列表

示例:开发了上面的关键字列表,以找到讨论如何在驾驶事故时发短信的资源。请注意有同义词(texting and "text messaging"),相关条文("cell phones" and texting), and拼写变化(“手机”和手机)。使用keywords when searching full-text requires consideration of various words that express an idea or concept.

主题Headings

  • Predetermined "controlled vocabulary" database editors apply to resources to describe topical coverage of content
  • Can retrieve more precise search results because every article assigned that subject heading will be retrieved.
  • Provide less flexibility in a search
  • 可以与关键字搜索结合以焦点搜索结果。
  • TIP: Consult database subject heading list or subject headings assigned to relevant resources

Example 1: In EBSCO's Academic Search Complete, clicking on the "Subject Terms" tab provides access to the entire subject heading list used in the database. It also allows a search for specific subject terms.

Example 2: A subject term can be incorporated into a keyword search by clicking on the down arrow next to "Select a Field" and selecting "Subject Terms" from the dropdown list. Also, notice how subject headings are listed below the title of the resource providing another strategy for discovering subject headings used in the database.

当搜索词不止一个单词时,enclose the phrase in quotation marksto retrieve more precise and accurate results. Using quotation marks around a term will search it as a "chunk," searching for those particular words together in that order within the text of a resource.

Examples:

“手机”

“驾驶分心”

“车祸”

TIP: In some databases, neglecting to enclose phrases in quotation marks will insert the AND Boolean connector between each word resulting in unintended search results.

截断提供一个选项来搜索keywo的根rd in order to retrieve resources that include variations of that word. This feature can be used to broaden search results, although some results may not be relevant. To truncate a keyword, type an asterisk (*) following the root of the word.

For example:

库数据库提供了各种工具来限制和精确搜索结果。限制器provide the ability to limit search results to resources having specified characteristics including:

  • Full text
  • Resource type
  • 发布日期
  • 语言
  • 地理位置
  • 主题

在EBSCO和ProQuest数据库中,限制工具位于结果页面的左侧面板。

EBSCO ProQuest

下面的短视频提供了如何使用限制器来优化搜索结果列表的演示。

库数据库中的每个资源存储在记录中。除了资源的全文外,可搜索Fields附加,通常包括:

  • 作者
  • 标题
  • 期刊标题
  • Date of Publication
  • 一种bstract
  • 主题Headings
  • 发行商

一世ncorporatingFields在to your search can assist in focusing and refining search results by limiting the results to those resources that include specific information in a particular field.

一世n both EBSCO and ProQuest databases, selecting the高级搜索选项将允许将字段包含在搜索中。

例如,在EBSCO的高教搜索完整数据库中的“高级搜索”选项中,单击“选择字段”旁边的向下箭头提供可以在该数据库中搜索的字段列表。选择字段并在左侧的文本框中输入信息以使用此功能。

停止单词是短暂的,常用的单词 - 文章,介词和代词 - 从搜索中自动删除。典型的停止词包括:

  • 一种
  • 一个
  • 一个d
  • 一种lso
  • 为了
  • is
  • of
  • 所以
  • 哪一个
  • 什么时候
  • 曾是

在图书馆数据库中,即使包含在引号中包含的短语中,也不会搜索停止单词。在某些情况下,一个单词将被替换为停止字来允许在资源的文本中彼此彼此进行搜索中的短语中的另一个单词。

例如,如果您搜索美国公司,你的这些variatons结果列表包括:

  • 公司一种merica
  • 公司of一种merica
  • 公司为了一种merica
