Search filters – what are they good for? 

Search filters are collections of search terms designed to retrieve selections of records. Search filters are often designed to retrieve records of research using a specific study design or by topic or by some other feature of the research question. Search filters are often built into databases interface. Many search filters are available and choosing between them may be challenging. In this one hour webinar, Julie will review how to find filters, how to assess the quality of filters and occasions when filters may or may not be helpful.
