• Choice of search words (related key terms/ synonyms): Brainstorm and use thesauri to identify additional

keyword search terms corresponding to your main concepts.

Search strategies (2)

•Combine your keyword terms using Boolean operators (AND / OR ) and wildcards (e.g. * , !)▫AND: searches records that mention both

search terms, this narrows the search e.g. media and hong kong ( 必須同時出現 )

▫OR: finds records in which one or both search terms appear, this broadens the search e.g. media or journalism ( 只要任何一個出現 )

JOURNALI such as journalist, journalism, journalistic, etc.
