Planning your search

This sounds obvious, but to begin searching you should be clear about the topic of your research or assessment. Ensure you review your assessment instructions. You may already have received a topic, a statement or clues to guide your search. So write down your summary and check that it's clear and focused.

Library Advanced Search
To make the most of Library Advanced Search, it is good to know a few tips and tricks! Using the Advanced Search in the library, you can search for more than one concept with its predictive text function that will bring up relevant keywords and concepts you may never have thought of. Use the tips below to target your searching to return more relevant results.
Phrase searching narrows a search to show results that contain an exact phrase e.g. "competitive advantage"
To conduct a phrase search, add double quote marks around two or more words you want to search for.
For example: searching for "social networks" will only return records that contain this exact term. The search will not return results where the word 'social' or 'networks' appear alone.
