STRATEGIES TO LIVE BY

KEEP IN MIND:
  • Keep track of your strategies
  • Prepare synonyms, don't just rely on those provided by a single database <each database speaks its own language depending on how specialized they are>
  • Check HELP in each database, some use different characters than standard truncations <like using "?" instead of "*">
  • Don't just look at subjects, look at author provided keywords.
