Web “Pre-Searching”
Why start your search online?
Find background information
Help solidify research topic
Find new terminology to use as keywords
Find links and/or citations to other sources

Try new features to help build your keyword list and search strategy.
Keep this in mind!Any topic might include various facets that you might want to explore and consider as you clarify your topic at the beginning of the research process.
![Page 13: TSEM Spring 2012 - Wood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54986a6db479596f4d8b53fe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Keywords are critical!
Sample topic: What are some ways elementary teachers can assess
whether a certain technology solution is effective?
First, break the question down into keywords: What are some ways elementary teachers can assess
whether a certain technology solution is effective?
![Page 14: TSEM Spring 2012 - Wood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54986a6db479596f4d8b53fe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
More on keywords…
Expand your list to include synonyms then add to it once you have done some background reading.
What are some ways elementary teachers can assess whether a certain technology solution is effective?
teach* assess* technolog*learn evaluat* comput*strateg* test* [software name]method gaugeinstruct*
![Page 15: TSEM Spring 2012 - Wood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54986a6db479596f4d8b53fe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Search Terms and Keyword Reminders
Keywords come from the search question
Use Boolean “search connectors” to combine keywords in ways that capture the results you need
![Page 16: TSEM Spring 2012 - Wood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54986a6db479596f4d8b53fe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Good searching starts with good keywords
Boolean “search connectors”
AND OR NOT
For example:
internet AND children• Combining >1 topic
instruct OR teach• Combining synonymous terms
![Page 17: TSEM Spring 2012 - Wood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54986a6db479596f4d8b53fe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Search Tip #1
Use AND when you need to combine more than one topic
Innovation AND education
educationinnovation
![Page 18: TSEM Spring 2012 - Wood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54986a6db479596f4d8b53fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Search Tip #2
Use OR to combine synonymous terms (to get results regardless of what term an author uses).
teach instruct
![Page 19: TSEM Spring 2012 - Wood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54986a6db479596f4d8b53fe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Search Tip #3
Use truncation!
Educat* finds Educate Education Educating Educator
Etc…
![Page 20: TSEM Spring 2012 - Wood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54986a6db479596f4d8b53fe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Search Tip #4
Phrase Searching… Use quotations to keep a keyword phrase intact
(words will be searched in the specific order)
Examples: “No Child Left Behind” “school reform”
![Page 21: TSEM Spring 2012 - Wood](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061213/54986a6db479596f4d8b53fe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
