Below are some of my recent workshop presentations on search strategies.
If you are interested in more detailed information on search, fact sheets and strategies for more effective searching are available via my Search Strategies pages. The fact sheets are free but there is an annual subscription for full access to the documents, presentations and screencasts. Some articles are also available separately on a pay per download basis. There is a full list of what is currently available on the main Search Strategies page. Details of subscription levels and how to order are on the purchase page.
