SEARCHING DATABASES1. Write down your topic in its
simplest form Then break it up into CONCEPTS.
The use of MICROORGANISMS in the FOOD & AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
Concept 1 Concept 2 Concept 3
2. Think of KEY WORDS that describe each of your concepts :
CONCEPT 1BACTERIA
FUNGI
CONCEPT 2DAIRYMEAT
VEGETABLES
CONCEPT 3AGRICULTURE
The use of MICROORGANISMS in the FOOD & AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
Concept 1 Concept 3Concept 2
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
Use AND to combine different concepts :
Bacteria AND Food
BACTERIA FOOD
Use OR to enter keywords for the same (single) concept :
dairy OR meat OR vegetables
Use NOT to get rid of unwanted results :
bacteria NOT E. coli
Microorganisms OR

CONCEPT 2FoodDairyMeat

CONCEPT 3 Agriculture
AND
The use of MICROORGANISMS in the FOOD & AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
ONE SEARCH BOX: Use brackets to separate your concepts
STRUCTURED SCREEN:MICROORGANISMS OR BACTERIA OR FUNGI
FOOD OR DAIRY OR MEAT OR VEGETABLES
AGRICULTURE
(MICROORGANISMS OR BACTERIA OR FUNGI) AND (FOOD OR DAIRY OR MEAT OR VEGETABLES) AND AGRICULTURE
