Today we are going to talk about building search strategies based on your Capstone Venn Diagram:
Sometimes, you need to do research to figure out what you are going to research. You may need to try out a number of search strategies to explore what information is available / not available, and you may find that you need or want to adjust your topic / medium / audience.
Every project is different, but some questions to consider as you try out search strategies:
AND link words by AND to search for all words in the same resource
OR link words by OR to search for one word or another (instead of both/all words)
NOT to eliminate results with a certain term
“Quotations” – add quotations to a group of two or more words to search for the exact phrase
