Strategies for searching the databases

  • Always switch to the Advance Search page in a database. This will give you more control over your results.
  • Always use Boolean Operators-AND, OR, NOT when running a search.
    • AND: narrows your search ex: war and iraq
    • OR: broadens your search ex: (united states or america) and "vietnam war" and ethic?
    • NOT: eliminates ex: "Iraq war" not "Desert Storm"
  • When looking for a film review, put that in your search
  • A sample search would look like: "the bicycle thief" and film review
  • Always check your Spelling if the database results are Zero.
  • To look for full-text use the: check availablity at Ramapo, primary catalog, or check availability links in the databases
  • Use the Subject Terms or Thesaurus link in databases to find the best search terms to use
