Effective research requires mastering search strategies that enhance efficiency and relevance. Some key strategies include:
Using Boolean Operators: Combining keywords with AND, OR, and NOT to refine search results.
Applying Advanced Search Filters: Filtering results by date, subject, language, and document type in databases.
Leveraging Subject Headings: Using controlled vocabulary and indexing terms to find relevant articles.
Exploring Library Resources: The AIIAS Library catalog, online databases (ATLA, ProQuest Religion, GDTL), and open-access repositories like the Adventist Digital Library provide extensive academic materials.
By developing these skills, researchers can save time, improve accuracy, and enhance the quality of their research.
