Etsintäoppaat

Etsintäoppaat, or search guides, are instructional materials designed to help users effectively utilize search engines and databases to find relevant information. These guides are commonly used in libraries, academic institutions, and other information-rich environments. They provide step-by-step instructions on how to formulate search queries, select appropriate databases, and evaluate the credibility of sources. Etsintäoppaat often include tips on using advanced search features, such as Boolean operators and truncation, to refine search results. They may also cover strategies for finding specific types of information, such as scholarly articles, news articles, or images. These guides are typically created by librarians or information specialists who understand the needs of their user base and the resources available to them. By following the instructions in an etsintäopas, users can improve their search skills and become more efficient in their information-seeking processes.
