narrow, broaden, or exclude search results Boolean logic consists
of three logical operators: AND OR NOT 18. Boolean Operators

Techniques Truncation What is Truncation? Truncation, also called
stemming, is a technique that allows you to search for various word
endings and spellings simultaneously. 24. Advanced Search
Techniques Truncation To use truncation enter the root of a word
and put the truncation symbol at the end. The database will return
results that include any ending of that root word. Examples: child*
= child, childs, children, childrens, childhood administrat* =
administrator, administrating, administrative *GOAL in using
truncation is to retrieve more results. 25. Advanced Search
Techniques Truncation Truncation symbols may vary by database, the
most common truncation symbols are: * Asterisk ! Exclamation Mark ?
Question Mark # Hashtag Look at the database Help screens to find
out which symbol to use. 26. Search Strategies A search strategy is
a plan for conducting research. Step 1: Write down your assignment
question or topic . Step 2: Identify the major concepts/keywords.
Ex. Research Topic=Patient abuse in nursing facilities Keywords=
Patient abuse AND nursing facilities Step 3: Consider any
alternative keywords or phrases (subject headings) that could be
used. Step 4: Develop your search strategy. Step 5: Identify
relevant databases. 27. Search Strategy Sheet 28. Basic Search

Thesaurus Subject Headings names varies according to the database
