4. Select information sources
Each information source contains different types of information. You will need to know which type of information is needed to your work to select your tool.

1. Define research topic

.
More questions you ask yourself about your topic, more specific you will be in your information search.
2. Identify keywords
List all keywords that may be useful for your research: you may consult a disciplinary dictionary, encyclopaedia or the search engine thesaurus to enhance your vocabulary and to be sure about a good understanding of your topic.
Think also about synonyms.
3. Use Boolean operators
Boolean operators are used to tell the search engine how to combine the keywords.
.
The most common are: AND, OR and NOT.
- AND: use to search results containing all search words with AND between.
- OR: broad your search results by finding results with one search word or another.
- NOT: find results that have a keyword but not have another keyword.
.
You may also use quotation marks to search a sentence or truncation (* or ?) to replace any number of characters of a word.
5. Apply search filters
Each search tool has useful filters to improve your search. Use them to limit it to a time frame, field of study, type of publication, …
6. Improve your results
Examine your results, do you have too many results or too few results? Are they relevant to your topic?

You will need to try other search strategies to find the best way to have the best information needed to your work.
