Research Tutorial

Activity: Searching in the Library

This activity gives you a chance to practice searching using AND/OR/NOT and adding filters.

Instructions

  • Try each of the searches below in the library
  • Note down the total number of results that you get from each search
  • Arrange the searches from highest number of results (on the left) to lowest number of results (on the right)
    • If you are on a smaller screen and the searches appear on separate rows, arrange from left to right, then continue on the next line from left to right again
  • To arrange the images, click on on an image and drag it to the right spot. When a blue outline appears, let go of the image and it will slot into place.
  • Use the Check button to check your answer

When you have completed the activity, you can move to Module 5: Find Sources - Where to Search.
