Literature Searching: Executing your strategy - 14 October 2025

Do you want to find the most relevant articles from your search, but don’t want to get too many irrelevant results? Use the advanced features of library databases to search more effectively. This workshop is aimed at those with basic database searching experience who want to take their search skills to the next level.

This workshop will cover:

• Evaluating your search strategy and modifying it to get better results
• Using proximity operators, wildcards, nested searches, field searching techniques
• Using subject headings
• Using advanced database features
• Running advanced searches in key databases like Scopus and Web of Science
• Locating highly-cited articles in your research area

It is highly recommended, if you are not already familiar with search techniques, that you should also attend our Literature Searching: Crafting your Strategy workshop.

Audience:

Any postgraduate researchers or UTS staff.

This workshop will be delivered online via Zoom. Participants can attend the workshop in real time or access the recording at their convenience.

This session is facilitated by UTS Library.
