My topic: Personal Privacy
My research question: What things associated with personal privacy are most concerning to people?
Boolean search: personal privacy and personal concerns
Hi, Jackie:
ReplyDeleteYou need to be a bit more specific in your search statements, in some you've left out key concepts. Like ("natural medicine" OR "traditional medicine") should also include (ALA OR American Medical Association) otherwise, you'll be digging through a lot of articles. For you question, I also feel that there is a concept missing. Are you interesting in American ideas of privacy, western ideas, the difference between older and younger people? As it stands, your question is overly broad, make sure and enclose phrases in quotes to search for those specific phrases instead of individual words.
This becomes easier with practice and can make a difference in your research. I know you mentioned that you don't want to take the time and that is certainly a choice you can make, I just think that this class demonstrates the efficacy of using boolean for research.
Cheers,
Andrea
