●Google is a tremendous search engine - It is very smart -can interpret "natural language" (i.e. plurals, misspellings,foreign words)

●BUT it can not always get the researcher to the end-userproduct BECAUSE of authentication and subscription!(Problem with Google Scholar as well!)

●“Deep Web“ (i.e. searching for a plane or train ticket toParis at 20.00 tonight, or manuscripts of Dante)



●Not as “smart” as Google (although this is improvingwith various library software upgrades)●Start with KEYWORD search (Use NOUNS, not verbs,adjectives, pronouns or prepositions!)●Basic principles:

●Boolean (AND, OR, NOT)●Truncation: uses stem of a word such as THEAT* retrieves theater,theatre, theaters, theatres etc.) This is also called using a WILDCARD:sometimes it is ‘?’ or ‘!’ or ‘*’●Controlled vocabulary (index, thesaurus, Library of Congress SubjectHeadings)

Encyclopedia/Dictionary databases (Oxford English Dictionary,Dictionary of National Biography, IMDB)

Bibliographic/Indexes databases which contain all of the types ofmaterial written about a particular topic such as journal articles, books,conference proceedings, theses, reviews, etc. (International Index to the

Performing Arts, MLA International Bibliography, Periodicals IndexOnline)—NOT the final ‘object’/PDF Full-text databases which will have the full article in PDF/HTML to

view/download (JSTOR, Academic Search Complete, Ingenta, TimesDigital, Proquest Newspapers)

Citation Indexes which detail the ‘importance’ or ‘impact’ of particular

article (Web of Knowledge – Social Science Citation Index, Arts andHumanities Citation Index)

▪ *Databases blur these distinctions - Both International Index to the Performing Arts,

and Academic Search Complete have citation information on ‘more recent’ articles but

not the full text (yet) because of moving wall .
