数据库搜索提示

  • Library 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ing library databases is different than searching Google. Best results are achieved when using关键词与连接Boolean Operators.
  • Applying限制器such as full-text, publication date, resource type, language, geographic location, and subject help to refine search results.
  • UtilizingPhrasesorFields,除了意识停止单词,can focus your search and retrieve more useful results.
  • Have questions? Connect with a Librarian through the LibraryLive Chat寻求帮助。

Boolean Operators连接逻辑检索关键词或概念relevant articles, books, and other resources. There are three Boolean Operators:

  • AND
  • OR
  • 不是

UsingAND

  • Narrows搜索结果
  • Connects two or more keywords/concepts
  • Allkeywords/concepts connected with "and" must be in an article or resource to appear in the search results list

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).

UsingOR

  • 拓宽搜索结果("OR means more!")
  • Connects two or more synonyms or related keywords/concepts
  • Resources appearing in the results list will includeanyof the terms connected with the OR connector

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.

Using不是

  • Excludes搜索中的关键字或概念
  • Narrows results by removing resources that contain the keyword or term connect with the NOT connector
  • Use sparingly

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.

A 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?)
  • Provide flexibility in a search
  • Must consider synonyms or related terms to improve search results
  • TIP: Build aKeyword List

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synonyms(texting and "text messaging"),相关条文("cell phones" and texting), andspelling variations(“手机”和手机)。Using 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.

When a search term is more than one word,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:

"cell phone"

“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.

Truncationprovides an option to search for a root of a keyword 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.

为example:

Library databases provide a variety of tools to limit and refine search results.限制器provide the ability to limit search results to resources having specified characteristics including:

  • Full text
  • Resource type
  • Publication date
  • 语言
  • Geographic location
  • 主题

In both the EBSCO and ProQuest databases, the limiting tools are located in the left panel of the results page.

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。

Each resource in a library database is stored in a record. In addition to the full-text of the resources, searchableFieldsare attached that typically include:

  • Author
  • 标题
  • Journal title
  • Date of Publication
  • Abstract
  • 主题Headings
  • Publisher

IncorporatingFieldsinto 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.

In both EBSCO and ProQuest databases, selecting the高级搜索option will allow Fields to be included in a search.

例如,在EBSC高级搜索选项O's Academic Search Complete database, clicking on the down arrow next to "Select a Field" provides a list of fields that can be searched within that database. Select the field and enter the information in the text box to the left to use this feature.

停止单词are short, commonly used words--articles, prepositions, and pronouns-- that are automatically dropped from a search. Typical stop words include:

  • a
  • an
  • and
  • the
  • also
  • but
  • 为了
  • in
  • is
  • of
  • so
  • 哪一个
  • when
  • 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,your result list will include these variatons:

  • 公司inAmerica
  • 公司ofAmerica
  • 公司为了America

This short video demonstrates how to create a search string -- keywords connected with Boolean operators -- to use in a library database search to retrieve relevant resources for any research assignment.
