Points to Remember
• Identify key words.
• Check which operators to use. – Do phrases need quotations? Is a
* used for different word endings or is it ?.
– Do words need to be connected with “and”?
![Page 33: Health 239](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56813f5b550346895daa289a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Points to Remember
• Look for subject headings or descriptors in a useful record for more keyword ideas.
• Do not search QCAT by journal author or article title. Only journal title is in QCAT.
