Phrase searching: market share Other databases listed on the UVM Library Web site under “Find Articles & More” “Subject List of Databases” “Business” __________________________________________________________________________ To broaden your search when you find too few items: Include additional synonyms or related terms for each search concept, using the “or” connector. Example: (restaurant or diner or café) and (advertising or publicity) and (cost or price) Drop the least important concept (and its synonyms) from your search. Example: (restaurant or diner or café) and (advertising or publicity) and (cost or price) Use truncation to find variant forms of your search terms. Consult the online help in each database to learn the appropriate truncation symbol. Example: clothing and market? [“market?” finds market, markets, marketing, marketer, marketable, marketability] Try your search in another database. To narrow your search when you find too many items: Add another concept to your search by using the “and” connector. Example: bakeries and retail Limit your search to a specific year or range of years. Remove some of the synonyms that you connected with the “or” connector in your search statement, leaving the most important or specific term to describe each concept. Example: (restaurant or diner or café) and (advertising or publicity) Trina Magi, Library Associate Professor, University of Vermont, Fall 2004
