Health & Wellness Resource Center
1. Introduction to Searching Why develop a search strategy? • • •
Assists you to define the scope of your question. Allows you to search for information across several different sources/resources. Saves time.
Finding the focus of your question The reference interview will assist you to establish what information is required. Ask questions that clarify the precise meaning of the client's request, and identify the context for the use of the information. Identifying the context of the information required will assist you to select the most appropriate resources. Example: What is the effect of diet on diabetes in children? • • •
What is meant by effect? Cause, treatment, therapy, complications, interactions with other treatments? Define the term children? What age range is included? Does this include adolescents? What will the information be used for? Is the information for an assignment, is the client a carer, a sufferer, family member, medical practitioner?
Identifying the key words/concepts Identify the main concepts or keywords of your question? Breaking the question down into key parts or concepts will provide you with a basic search strategy. Concepts and keywords can then be combined using boolean logic. Example: How is diet used to treat diabetes in children and adolescents? Key concepts for this question include diet, treat, diabetes and adolescents.

Identifying alternative terms In order to find the most relevant information terms you need to think about alternative terms that can be used to describe some of the concepts. Some things to be aware of include: • • • • •
Synonyms (eg. treatment, therapy). Acronyms (eg. HRT, Hormone replacement therapy). Spelling variations (UK vs. US spellings). HWRC is US-based and therefore favours North American spelling and terminology. Variations on the basic word (eg. treat, treating and treatment). Variations of the condition (eg. diabetes mellitus, diabetes1 and diabetes 2).
Example: How is diet used to treat diabetes in adolescents? Concept Diet
Alternative eg. nutrition food diet therapy
Treat
eg. treatment therapy treating management
Diabetes
eg. diabetes diabetic insulin dependent diabetes
Adolescents
eg. juvenile adolescence teenager children

Develop a search strategy using your search terms and boolean operators Boolean operators include: AND When you use AND the search engine only returns records that have all the specified terms in them. For example, if you use diabetes AND treatment the database will only return records with both the word diabetes and the word treatment in them. The AND operator is used to reduce the number of hits you get. OR When you use OR the search engine returns records that have any of the specified terms. The OR operator broadens your search and is used to increase the number of hits you get. For instance, if you type in diabetes OR diabetic the search engine in the database will find all the records that have either of these words or both words in them, so you should get quite a lot of hits. NOT When you use NOT the search engine will exclude any records that include the term you have specified after NOT. For example, if you type in diabetes NOT juvenile, the database will find records that contain the word diabetes, but will not include records with the word juvenile (ie. juvenile diabetes or diabetes in juveniles). Use NOT with care as you may be eliminating useful records. In the example above, you would miss out on records that have information about diabetes in juveniles and adults.
Identifying appropriate resources Some things to consider when selecting appropriate resources include: •
Is the focus of your question covered by the content area of resource? For example, Health and Wellness Resource Center (HWRC) has a focus on clinical health and wellbeing information. Information on government policy and systems is not well covered.
•
Is there a geographic dimension to your question, for example, the incidence of asthma in Australia? HWRC is predominantly US-based, so it would be more likely that a database like APAFT (APIAS fulltext) would have relevant information.
•
Does your client require full-text or bibliographic information? HWRC includes a significant proportion of full-text resources.
•
What level of information does the client require? Is the level required by the client matched by the resource, for example HWRC covers a broad level of health resources ranging from full-text encyclopedic

Health & Wellness Resource Center
entries and pamphlets, to refereed medical journals. It does contain some specialist medical journals (eg. American Journal of Obstetrics), however there is not a comprehensive coverage of this level of resource. Medline would be a more appropriate database for this level of enquiry.
Summary of key points •
Be specific about what you are looking for.
•
Identify the key terms for searching.
•
Explore alternative search terms.
•
Match your client and their request to the resource.
•
Review your strategy and your results.

Advanced Searching
The Advanced Search screen allows you to search a number of keywords or phrases, and to specify where to search for each, for example in article title, journal name, author, subject, or abstract. The Advanced Search feature does not link to the Subject Guide. You can also limit your search to full-text documents, consumer health resources, refereed publications, and to the Alternative Health Module. You can select one or more of these limiters. You can also limit your search to a date range. A refereed publication is a professional journal in which articles or papers are selected for publication by a panel of referees who are experts in the field. They read and evaluate each of the articles submitted for publication. Examples of refereed publications are The Lancet and British Medical Journal. A consumer health publication is a publication that is specifically written for the lay person (ie. people who have no medical training). They tend to be written in plain English and technical jargon is avoided, kept to a minimum, or explained in a glossary. Hint: Always do a Basic Search (Search for) first on your individual term to check that your keywords and concepts are correct.
NSW.net Training Program: Health & Wellness Resource Center – February 2004

Health & Wellness Resource Center
Search History This feature is located on the Advanced Search page or can be accessed from the Results screen when using the Search for feature (it appears when you have undertaken more than one search). To view the results of an earlier search, highlight the search you are interested in by clicking on it, then click View.
Refining Searches HWRC provides several Advanced Search features that can be used to refine or narrow a search: Boolean operators The Boolean operators AND, OR, NOT can be used in the Search for box, and are also available from the Advanced Search page (in drop-down boxes). Boolean operators are most effective in the Advanced Search page. AND Use the AND operator to retrieve documents that contain both of the specified search terms. This operator places no condition on where the terms are found in relation to one another. The AND operator narrows your search. Example, a search for carcinoma AND cryotherapy will find any document that mentions both carcinoma and cryotherapy. OR Use the OR operator to find documents that contain one or the other or both specified search terms. This operator places no condition on where the terms are found in relation to one another. Using OR can broaden your search and increase the number of documents you find. Example, a search for accidents OR injuries will find documents that mention accidents, injuries, or both terms.
NSW.net Training Program: Health & Wellness Resource Center – February 2004
31
Health & Wellness Resource Center
NOT Use the NOT operator to find documents that contain the search term before the operator, but does not contain the search term after the operator. The NOT operator focuses your search. Example, a search for menopause NOT Hormone Replacement Therapy will find records that mention menopause, except the ones in which the term Hormone Replacement Therapy occurs. Hint: If an operator appears in a title you are searching for, such as Gale Encyclopedia for Childhood and Adolescence, it will still be interpreted as a logical operator. This may lead to irrelevant results. If you are searching for a title that contains a logical operator, enclose the title in quotation marks. When using more than one Boolean operator, they are processed in the following order: NOT and AND OR If you want to change the order of evaluation use parentheses (see below).
Parentheses Boolean operators work in both simple queries (words or phrases) or more complex ones delimited by parentheses ( ). Parentheses allow you to construct very powerful search queries. You can change the evaluation order of operators by using parentheses (nesting operators). The search system performs the operation within parentheses first, then merges the result with the part of the entry outside the parentheses. Example, (treatment OR therapy) AND (eating disorders OR anorexia OR bulimia).
Wildcards Use the wildcard features to retrieve both singular and plural forms or variations of a word: •
Asterisk (*) - matches any number of characters, including none, and is useful when you want to find all words that share the same
NSW.net Training Program: Health & Wellness Resource Center – February 2004
32
Health & Wellness Resource Center
root. For example, test* retrieves test, tests, testing, testosterone, etc. •
Exclamation mark (!) - matches one or no characters, and is especially useful when you want to match the singular and plural of a word but no other forms. For example, test! retrieves test or tests.
•
Question mark (?) - stands for exactly one character and is useful when you’re uncertain of a spelling, or to find certain words with variant spellings. For example, defen?e finds both defense (American) and defence.
Proximity Operators The proximity operators W (within) and N (near) may be used to refine a search. They are used between search terms to indicate that the terms must occur in a record within a specified distance of each other for that record to match. It is recommended that proximity operators be used on the Advanced Search page. A proximity operator has two components, a letter that indicates the direction and a number that indicates the distance between words. The W operator specifies that the word that follows the operator must occur within n words after the word that precedes the operator for a record to match. For example allergy w4 immune finds documents in which the word immune occurs four or fewer words after the word allergy. The N operator specifies that the words on either side of the operator must occur within n words of each other in either direction for a record to match. For example, allergy n4 immune finds documents in which the words allergy and immune occur within four or fewer words of each other in either direction. Proximity operators are useful when searching large areas of text such as fulltext articles. Hint: Proximity operators can be used only between words or phrases, not between a word/phrase and an expression within nesting operators (parentheses).
Spelling If your search does not yield any results (perhaps because you have misspelled a word), you may see a Subject Guide on the left sidebar that is in the alphabetical vicinity of the first word of your search. If you see the correct
NSW.net Training Program: Health & Wellness Resource Center – February 2004
33
Health & Wellness Resource Center
spelling, select the link to use the word in a new search. Alternatively, you could check the Medical Dictionary.
Capitalization HWRC is not case-sensitive ie. the use of capitalization does not affect search results.
Punctuation A hyphen (-) used between two words is considered part of the term. If you are searching for a word or phrase that normally contains a hyphen, you may include the hyphen or separate the words by a space eg. long-term care or long term care. Apostrophes (‘) are recognized in HWRC and can be used in your search query. Ampersands (&) are not recognised in HWRC. Use the W proximity operator if the ampersand seems important to the term.
INFOMARKS An InfoMark at the top right of any page indicates that the URL of the page persists even when the session is over. Persistent URLs can be bookmarked for future reference or copied into an electronic mail message, word processor document or into a Web page. Use your browser to save the page as a bookmark. One common use for Infomarks is to create a predefined search. Each time the saved link is selected, the search will be run anew. To create a predefined search, save the URL at the Results screen.

5. Evaluating Health Resources There is a growing volume of health information on the Internet, consequently there is a growing need for both the lay person and the library professional to be able to identify quality health information. Various guidelines exist to assist in evaluating websites. These guidelines can also be used to assess databases and books.
