This workshop includes presentation and
discussion. In the presentation, we cover:
- the
two main types of search structures (set searching and paragraph
searching) and how to decide which structure is more appropriate
- building
searches in two example databases: Medline (Ovid)
and ASSIA (ProQuest)
- key
points to consider in developing searches for multiple databases
In discussion, we'll have Q&A
and feedback, including your input and ideas for improving the example
searches.
The search examples are work in progress for the UNCOVER review Impact of the Public Sector
Response to COVID on Refugee & Asylum Seekers in Scotland.
