An
All Fields search provides the most powerful access to
the CMIS Resource Bank. This search finds any word you put in from
anywhere in the item record. However, it does also bring up
items that do not relate to what you are expecting from your
search.
Before you start a search take some
time to make a list of the words you might use in your search.
Decide whether you want to restrict your search by Phase
of Development or Learning Area.
One simple search is to put in a Learning
Area as a search word and restrict the search by Phase of
Development.
Eg: 1. ‘english’ and select ‘Middle
Childhood’ from the drop-down restrictors. This
search also finds items for ‘Languages Other Than
English’.
If you want to filter out the LOTE
items in the example above, put ‘english’
in the first line of the search. On the second line select
NOT from the drop-down menu and put in ‘languages
other than english’, then select ‘Middle
Childhood’ from the drop-down restrictors. [results
down from 139 to 117]
If you want to locate just websites on a
subject, put in your subject and website as the search terms.
Eg: 1. Typing in ‘Antarctica’ on the
first line AND ‘website’ on the second
line as your two key words will locate all the websites
that mention Antarctica in their title, subject or description.
