Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3 EBP 0359 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Databases Search Differently
Captions available
The idea
Different databases treat the same entered terms in different ways, so the same strategy needs slight variation in each and will produce different yields.
In practice
One strategy adjusted for two databases, returning two different sets.
Where people slip
A searcher should be able to explain each variation. Differences you cannot account for are differences you did not intend.
