Beyond Keywords: Mastering Controlled Vocabulary In-Person
This workshop spotlights the differences between keywords and controlled vocabulary (subject headings), and shows how combining them optimizes your search results and boosts your research success.
In this hands-on workshop, you will:
- Tell when to use keywords vs. controlled vocabulary—and why it matters.
- Locate preferred terms, scope notes, and broader/narrower/related terms in thesauri.
- Translate concepts to subject headings and mix them with keywords, phrases, and truncation.
- Troubleshoot common pitfalls (too many/few or off-topic results) using smart query tweaks.
