Health librarians have developed an Introduction to Searching Course on the e-Learning for Health platform. It is an excellent first step in searching for information. You can take this without prior registration - Module 1: Introduction to Searching.
The key steps are;
- Recognise the need for information
- Identify information sources
- Focus the topic
- Develop a search strategy
- Refine the search
A simple search may help in identifying other related terms to enable you to amend your search
If you retrieve too many records then add available limiters or facets
If you retrieve too few results try alternative terms.
