Search Strategies

Our Information Consultants provide information and support for research postgraduates and staff on creating search strategies and selecting appropriate sources of information in support of your research and teaching.

We maintain a wiki based toolkit of online resources, InfoPaths@ Aberdeen, that includes advice on planning search strategies. The wiki also contains presentations, worksheets, guides and screencast (video-style) recordings to aid information retrieval and management. The resources are freely available for teaching.
