Lots of #TuesdayTips in today's From the Gelber column in the Quid Novi - Droit McGill Law. If you have ever been concerned about the quality of your search queries, or wondered how to improve them to get more relevant search results, this is a column you definitely don't want to miss (and might even want to print out for future consultation!). Bonne lecture et surtout n'hésitez pas à nous consulter pour toute question de recherche ! https://issuu.com/quidnovi/docs/qn_vol42_no5

Rappel/ reminder to McGill University students: the study hub remains OPEN, even while the city is in a red zone. Hours and capacity have been reduced, but we are still open with socially-distanced seating and plexiglass separators! In fact, as of Monday, 178 NEW seats will be added to the Redpath library space, and students can already start booking this new space (https://www.mcgill.ca//study-hubs-expand-second-floor-redp). Pour plus de détails, ou pour réserver votre siège, consultez: https://www.mcgill.ca/library/about/study-hubs #lawlibrary #midtermseason #studyspace

Nous recevons depuis quelques jours plusieurs courriels par rapport à la note de service pour le cours de Integration Workshop, surtout en lien avec la recherche par mot clé. So here's your #tuesdaytip: use search operators to your benefit! Terms like negligence, nuisance, tort, etc. are very common! If you want to ensure you are getting relevant results, try to combine search terms with proximity operators (within the same sentence, within X words, etc.) instead of basic Boo...lean operators (AND, OR, NOT). Note that proximity operators vary by database, so be sure to confirm the exact symbol before entering your query! Astuce en bonus : c'est possible que vous ne trouviez pas de traité sur votre sujet. Ceci dit, en consultant l'index d'un traité général, vous auriez peut-être de la chance ! N'oubliez aussi pas les articles de revues ! #legalresearch #lawlibrary
