Comprehensive vs not comprehensive searches - vary in rigor and effort.
3 steps: identify search terms, define relationships between terms, qualifying the search with database features and filters.
Search terms: what are key concepts (terms). Consider variations in wording, synonyms.
Define relationships among terms - boolean operators (AND, OR), syntax (detailed and precise grammar for searching - specific to database. Quotations force search for specific spelling - “problem-solving” or “problem solving” or “problemsolving” - all different results
Qualify terms (varies with database) - Includes fields (title, author, abstract, MeSH terms). Controlled vocabulary - MeSH, for example. MeSH is powerful but can become complex.
PubMed is not the only (or even best) database for health professions education questions. However, medical or educational jargon may require translating for different databases that focus on different disciplines and fields
UM informationists are available to help you in your searching dilemmas! Dawn can help connect you.
A Guide to Database Searching is available through the Taubman Health Sciences Library (you will need to log in using your umich unique name and password)
