How to optimize your search results on lib.bbu
Searching for information on lib.bbu can be challenging if you do not use appropriate keywords or phrases that match your topic. To optimize your search results on lib.bbu, you should follow these steps:
Define your topic clearly and identify the main concepts or keywords that describe it. For example, if your topic is "the impact of social media on mental health", your main keywords are "social media", "mental health", and "impact".
Use synonyms, related terms, or alternative spellings for your keywords to expand your search results. For example, you can use "Facebook", "Twitter", "Instagram" as synonyms for "social media", or "psychological", "emotional", "well-being" as synonyms for "mental health". You can also use wildcard characters (*) to search for variations of a word. For example, you can use "social*" to search for "social", "socialize", "socializing", etc.
Use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to combine your keywords and narrow or broaden your search results. For example, you can use "social media AND mental health" to search for results that contain both terms, or "social media OR mental health" to search for results that contain either term, or "social media NOT mental health" to search for results that contain the first term but not the second. You can also use parentheses to group your keywords and operators. For example, you can use "(social media OR Facebook) AND (mental health OR well-being)" to search for results that contain either "social media" or "Facebook" and either "mental health" or "well-being".
Use quotation marks (") to search for exact phrases or terms. For example, you can use ""social media"" to search for results that contain the exact phrase "social media", or ""impact of social media on mental health"" to search for results that contain the exact phrase "impact of social media on mental health". This can help you avoid irrelevant results that contain your keywords separately.
Use filters or facets to refine your search results by type, format, language, date, subject, or other criteria. For example, you can use the Type filter to limit your results to e-books, e-journals, databases, etc., or the Language filter to limit your results to English, Turkish, Thai, etc., or the Date filter to limit your results to a specific year or range of years. You can also use the Subject facet to limit your results to a specific discipline or topic.
