Detailed guide to searching tips and tricks

Welcome to the Exeter Health Library Searching Skills Resource Hub

(Work-in-progress will change!  DN 16/10/18 )

Content:             ​These pages are for  health staff or students  working in all areas.     If you need to be more specific aspects then contact me. 

There are so many excellent sites on searching.  I'm aiming to only outline the principles of  each aspect.

There are  links  to  resources in the text that give further details.

  • These include webpages, documents, presentations and excel tools -
  • Some resources may be referred to more than once
  • They will also appear on the resources tab 

 

Navigation:         Use the Main Blue / Red  tabs above and look out for other plain tabs within the page frames.
                               
                                      

Using Links:       Links will either open in another tab, or a pop up window. 
                               Links to files may not open immediately. (1) -

  • You may need to look in your downloads folder
  • In Google Chrome look for the buttons on the bottom of the screen (2).
