Do your searches often yield too many or too few search results? Or would you just like to brush up on your search strategies? If so, help has arrived.
The UW-Madison campus librarians have created a series of nice, short narrated tutorials that offer strategies for achieving better search results. The tutorials were created using Macromedia Captivate, a screen capture program.
The following general tutorials are available: Research Tips and Strategies: Basic Search Strategies | Identifying Scholarly Articles | Finding Information about Periodicals | Strategies for “Too Many Results” | Strategies for “Too Few Results”
There are also a number of tutorials for resources available in campus libraries such as MadCat (a catalog of items available on the UW-Madison campus), WorldCat (a catalog of library materials worldwide), and more.
