Simple Search - Truncation * in PsycINFO means “retrieve all words that start with these letters, no matter how they end.” So the above search should retrieve any record containing confidential, confidentially or confidentiality. Like most databases, PsycINFO requires at least 1 character before the truncation symbol (* in PsycINFO.) Click Search to run the search.
Your turn • Truncate the word rehabilitation to catch all varieties—singular and plural noun, adjective, verb in present and past tenses.
Proximity searching • Symbol between two words tells computer to search for the two words when they appear within some number of words of each other. w# in PsycINFO means the words must be in the order given. The above search should retrieve UF but not USF (right order but 2 intervening words) or FSU (only 1 intervening word but wrong order.)
Simple Search - Proximity n# in PsycINFO allows the given words to appear in any order: rehabilitation counseling counseling in rehabilitation counseling about rehabilitation counseling for rehabilitation Note that rehabilitation n1 counselors could include rehabilitation of counselors
