Getting Suggested Search Terms

---

You can get suggestions for alternative search terms related to your research topic. These terms are taken directly from a database's own subject descriptor terms so may give more precise search results.

Note: Not available for all SilverPlatter databases, or if you selected multiple databases.

Click on the WebSPIRS toolbar to open the Suggest page.

1. Type a term or phrase in the Subject: box.
2. Click Suggest Terms.

   WebSPIRS displays a list of suggested terms. If the terms are hyperlinked, you can click on them to get more information such as scope notes, definitions, and related terms.

3. Check the terms you want to search for, then click Search Checked Subjects.

   WebSPIRS searches for your term(s) and displays any retrieved records.
