Search for the topic Game Design. How many results do you find? Too many, huh? So think about ways you can reduce the number of results to make it more applicable to you.
The first thing you might want to change is the date range to make sure that you find cutting edge research. Using the left-hand pane, you can limit your results to between 2015 and the current day. How many results do you find now? Better? Only marginally …
Look at the source types listed in the left-hand pane and decide which material is suitable for you. If your assignment is industry-focussed you might want to look at a Trade Publication or Magazine, but if it’s a scholarly critique of games design theory you might prefer articles in Academic Journals. Don’t forget conference papers are also a good source of innovative research too.
Apply more limits to make your search meaningful. This can either be by adding more keywords in the search box or by choosing the ones available in the Subject box in the left-hand pane e.g. virtual reality, video games, computer games, social media
Try an Advanced Search e.g. Game Design AND education. Are the results different from the ones you would find in a Basic Search? Why do you think this is?
Find an interesting article from your results list and see if you can access the full-text of the the article. There will be PDF Full Text links to those items available via the CCCU subscription.
Reflect on the type of information appearing in your search. The results are organised by relevance, but do they seem relevant? If not, then try synonyms of your search terms. Are there other ways you can describe game design e.g. game development. If you can’t think of any then try the database’s inbuilt thesaurus for suggested terms.
