  24. Information searching & Retrieval Techniques

  25. The 10 steps for refine search: • Identify the important concepts of your search. • Choose the keywords that describe these concepts. • Determine whether there are synonyms, related terms, or other variations of the keywords that should be included. • Determine which search features may apply, including truncation, proximity operators, Boolean operators, and so forth.. • Choose a search engine. • Read the search instructions on the search engine's home page. Look for sections entitled "Help," "Advanced Search," "Frequently Asked Questions," and so forth. • Create a search expression, using syntax, which is appropriate for the search engine. • Evaluate the results. How many hits were returned? Were the results relevant to your query? • Modify your search if needed. Go back to steps 2-4 and revise your query accordingly. • Try the same search in a different search engine, following steps 5-9 above.

  26. Search and retrieval process for accessing Electronic Information Resources Define search question Identify database of search Define search Strategy (select search terms and use Boolean operators) Carry out the search Evaluate the results 6. Revised the search if required 7. Evaluate again if still poor try other databases otherwise go ahead 8. Obtain the information 9. Appraise the information found

  27. Types of searches There are several ways to execute searches. The most frequently used ways of simple as well as advanced searches are elaborated below: Simple or Basic search: One can simply type a term, word, phrase, etc as follows: Management This would display the search results related the term Management wherever the term is used in the documents and databases.

  28. A B Advance search: Boolean Logics A AND B A OR B A NOT B

  29. Searching-AND Operator • business AND meeting • Search will find documents that contain both "business" and "meeting". • Because AND is the default operator, the following query would produce the same results: • business meeting • AND operator narrows the search and retrieving only those documents that contain both of the keyword entered. AND (+) Finds documents that contain all of the specified words. Be careful not to overuse the AND operator in a query; a search that is too specific could overlook relevant results.

  30. Searching-OR Operator • The OR operator expands the search by retrieving those documents in which either of or both of the keyword appear. This operator is usually used for: • Synonymous or equivalent terms • Spelling variations • Related terms OR Finds documents that contain at least one of the specified words. • meetingORappointment

  31. A B Searching- NOT Operator NOT (-) Excludes the documents that contain the specified word. • meeting NOT appointment • Use the NOT operator to ignore documents that contain the specified words. The NOT operator helps you narrow your search. • The NOT operator limits the search by retrieving only first keyword but not second, even if the first word appears in that document too. • The NOT operator should be used with care, as it is easy to eliminate relevant documents as well as irrelevant.

  32. Search Strategies • Limit Search • By type of article • By date • By age group • By language

  33. Search Strategies Quotation marks Finds documents that contain the whole word or the exact phrase (Exact phrases in quotes) “challenge” Search would also have found documents containing similar terms, such as "challenges" or "challenger“. Use quotation marks to avoid finding similar terms or derived words. If the word you are searching for needs to be considered as a whole word, enclose it in quotation marks. The documents must include the specified whole word. "Lord of the Rings" Desktop Search will find documents that contain the exact phrase "Lord of the Rings". Quotation marks can also be used to search for an exact phrase Parentheses (Processes the enclosed sub-query first) Use parentheses to isolate parts of a query. Sub-queries included in parentheses are processed before all other parts of the query (America OR Europe) AND maps Search will first process the "America or Europe" sub-query to find all documents that include either one of the two terms or both. It will then filter all found documents to keep only the ones that also include the word "maps". Hence, it will find documents that contain the words "America and maps", "Europe and maps" or all three words. Wildcard characters Finds documents containing part of a word. • Use wildcard characters to truncate words. The asterisk (*) substitutes zero or more characters, and the question mark (?) substitutes only one character.(*.txt Search will find all files that contain ".txt" in their file name, such as: "index.txt" or " copernic.txt.xls”) NOTE: Wildcard characters can be used in the File Name field only.

  34. Search Strategies

  35. Internet Searching • Google is not the be-all-and-end-all of super duper search engines • Google is just a good search engine to use for educational research • It is only as good as the knowledge of Boolean logic of the user

  38. Citation and References • Referencing is a standardized method of acknowledging sources of information and ideas that you have used in your assignment in a way that uniquely identifies their source. • Referencing is necessary to avoid plagiarism, and to enable readers to follow-up and read more fully the cited author’s arguments.

  40. Ten library terms for students 1.  ABSTRACT- a brief summary of a book or article. Quickly reading an abstract will help you decide if you would like to get the full article or book. 2. BIBLIOGRAPHY - a list of books, articles, and other materials that are cited by the source you are looking at. Also known as a works cited list, or a references list. 3. CALL NUMBER- Each book in our library has a call number–a series of numbers and letters that help you locate the book. When searching for a book in the library’s catalog, remember to write down or print out the call number. Call numbers are organized by subject, so books on the same topic will be shelved next to one another. 4. CATALOG - the online system that lists all of the books, media, and other materials in our library’s collection. To search the catalog, click on the the Libsys OPAC. 5. CITATION - brief information about a source, such as a book or article. It usually lists the author, title of the book (or name of the magazine, journal or newspaper), title of the article (if applicable), publication date or year, pages numbers (if applicable), and publisher (if applicable). 6. DATABASE - a collection of articles from newspapers, magazines, and journals. To search for articles in Library’s databases, use the Articles tab on gccbachd @digital Library or click on the Databases by Subject link. Conti…….

  41. Ten library terms for students 7. Find-It button – When searching in the library’s databases for articles, you will often see the “Find It” button. If the article is not available in full-text in the database, you can click on the “Find It” button to see if the article is available online in a different database, or order a copy of it for free through our interlibrary loan service. 8. Full-Text - When searching in the library’s database for articles, you will often see a link that says “full text” (sometimes marked as PDF Full Text or HTML Full Text). This means that the article is available online in the database. Clicking on the “full text” link will take you to the article where you can read it on your computer, print it out, download it, or email it to yourself. If the article is not available in “full text,” you can click on the Find-It button. 9.Peer Reviewed - A scholarly material based on original research. It is often a scholarly journal article. Not a magazine or newspaper article. It is a material that is written by an expert in a field (e.g., doctor, scientist, professor). Generally, peer reviewed materials are fairly lengthy and text-heavy. Peer Reviewed materials always cite their sources, so you will usually see a bibliography with it. Sometimes, peer reviewed materials are referred to as: scholarly, academic, or refereed. 10. Stacks - This is the area where the books are shelved. In GCCBA Library, the book stacks are on the 1st floors of the building.
