SEARCHING DATABASES
The effect of pollution on marine biodiversity
CONCEPT 2 CONCEPT 3CONCEPT 1
1. Write down your topic in its simplest form
Then break it up into CONCEPTS.
![Page 29: Stats honours 2015](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032420/55a5e3fe1a28ab23368b4744/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The effect of pollution on marine biodiversity
CONCEPT 2 CONCEPT 3CONCEPT 1
2. Think of KEY WORDS that describe each of your concepts :
CONCEPT 1
POLLUTION
CONTAMINATION
SEWAGE
OIL
CONCEPT 2
MARINE
OCEAN
SEA
CONCEPT 3
BIODIVERSITY
![Page 30: Stats honours 2015](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032420/55a5e3fe1a28ab23368b4744/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
3. Construct your search strategy
Boolean logic provides the language you use to structure your keyword search … the search engine needs to know how your search terms relate to each other
In Boolean searching, you make use of the three Boolean operators:
AND OR NOT
![Page 31: Stats honours 2015](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032420/55a5e3fe1a28ab23368b4744/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Use AND to combine different concepts :
pollution AND ocean
![Page 32: Stats honours 2015](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032420/55a5e3fe1a28ab23368b4744/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Use OR to enter keywords for the same
(single) concept :
ocean OR marine OR sea
![Page 33: Stats honours 2015](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032420/55a5e3fe1a28ab23368b4744/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Use NOT to get rid of unwanted results :
cetacea NOT dolphins
![Page 34: Stats honours 2015](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032420/55a5e3fe1a28ab23368b4744/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
