Learn More #1:

There are two ways to put the search strategy together:

  1. We can put all of the search terms together in one search statement. If this method is used, and we use AND and OR operators in the same search query, we must group the synonyms using parentheses.

     Example: s (threat? or hazard?) and (radon or asbestos)

  2. We can create a separate set for each concept and then group the sets together.

    Examples: s threat? or hazard?
    s radon or asbestos
    s s1 and s2

We are using Method 2 in our search strategy.
