2. DEVELOPING A SEARCH STRATEGY
1. Think of Search Terms
Brainstorm and generate keywords
Identify keywords that represent the major concepts
Consider alternative spellings, synonyms, acronyms, related terms
For example:
handphone,
expressway,
domestic helper,
mobile phone, cell phonehighway, freeway, motorwaydomestic worker,
housekeeper
2. Boolean Connectors
Using Boolean Connectors to connect the terms in each concept
domestic helper AND Singapore
domestic helper Singapore
domestic helper OR domestic worker
domestic helper domestic worker
(domestic helper OR domestic worker) NOT Filipino
domestic helper domestic worker
Filipino
Narrowing the search
Broadening the search

3. Search Tips
Phrase search “ ” ‘ ’
“domestic helper”
‘domestic helper’
Truncation * $
femin* → feminine, feminism, feministic
Wildcard ?
wom?n → woman, women
globali?ation → globalisation, globalization
Note: There is no common standard for symbols. Look at the help pages of each database to ensure the correct use of the various symbols.
