EBSCO​ ​MegaFILE  EBSCO​ ​MegaFILE​ ​is​ ​comprised​ ​of​ ​the​ ​databases​ ​Academic​ ​Search​ ​Premier,  MasterFILE​ ​Premier,​ ​Business​ ​Source​ ​Premier,​ ​and​ ​Regional​ ​Business​ ​News.​ ​It  provides​ ​full​ ​text​ ​for​ ​nearly​ ​12,000​ ​total​ ​publications​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​indexing​ ​and  abstracting​ ​for​ ​more​ ​than​ ​16,000​ ​publications.​ ​ ​While​ ​these​ ​publications​ ​cover​ ​a​ ​wide  range​ ​of​ ​interdisciplinary​ ​subjects,​ ​this​ ​database​ ​is​ ​best​ ​for​ ​finding​ ​business​ ​and  management​ ​sources. 

Basic​ ​and​ ​Advanced​ ​Searching 

The​ ​Basic​ ​Search​ ​interface​ ​is​ ​similar​ ​to​ ​all​ ​EBSCO​ ​database​ ​interfaces.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​enter  the​ ​search​ ​phrase​ ​you​ ​have​ ​created,​ ​either​ ​using​ ​keywords​ ​or​ ​Boolean​ ​logic,​ ​and​ ​limit  your​ ​search​ ​with​ ​a​ ​number​ ​of​ ​predefined​ ​limiters. 

  MegaFILE​ ​also​ ​offers​ ​an​ ​Advanced​ ​Search​​ ​option,​ ​located​ ​below​ ​the​ ​search​ ​bar,  where​ ​you​ ​can​ ​combine​ ​terms​ ​using​ ​Boolean​ ​operators​ ​and​ ​limit​ ​your​ ​search​ ​to  specific​ ​fields.​ ​If​ ​you​ ​are​ ​not​ ​comfortable​ ​creating​ ​search​ ​strings,​ ​using​ ​the​ ​advanced  search​ ​interface​ ​is​ ​a​ ​useful​ ​alternative.​ ​You​ ​are​ ​also​ ​able​ ​to​ ​limit​ ​your​ ​search​ ​to  Last​ ​updated​ ​7/6/2016

scholarly​ ​publications​ ​and​ ​by​ ​publication​ ​type​ ​and​ ​date​ ​as​ ​well​ ​as​ ​other​ ​limiting  parameters.  Search​ ​Tips  Phrase​ ​searching​ ​(“xxxx”)​ ​is​ ​utilized​ ​by​ ​MegaFILE.​ ​However,​ ​if​ ​the​ ​phrase​ ​contains​ ​a  “stopword,”​ ​most​ ​often​ ​an​ ​article​ ​or​ ​preposition,​ ​the​ ​results​ ​will​ ​contain​ ​variations​ ​on  the​ ​stopword.​ ​ ​For​ ​example,​ ​if​ ​you​ ​were​ ​looking​ ​for​ ​the​ ​movie​ ​“In​ ​America”​ ​you​ ​might  get​ ​results​ ​that​ ​include​ ​“On​ ​America,”​ ​“About​ ​America,”​ ​etc.​ ​ ​The​ ​system​ ​will​ ​search​ ​for  plurals​ ​and​ ​possessives​ ​of​ ​any​ ​singular​ ​term​ ​entered.  You​ ​can​ ​use​ ​Boolean​ ​operators​ ​to​ ​limit​ ​your​ ​search​ ​either​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Advanced​ ​Search​ ​tab  using​ ​the​ ​drop​ ​down​ ​choices​ ​or​ ​by​ ​creating​ ​a​ ​search​ ​string​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Basic​ ​Search​ ​field.  Quotation​ ​marks​ ​“​ ​“ 

Searches​ ​for​ ​words​ ​between​ ​the​ ​quote​ ​marks​ ​exactly​ ​as  they​ ​appear.  Example:​ ​“information​ ​literacy” 

AND 

Searches​ ​for​ ​items​ ​where​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​terms​ ​appear.​ ​ ​More  inclusive​ ​with​ ​fewer​ ​results.  Example:​ ​university​ ​AND​ ​achievement 

OR 

Searches​ ​for​ ​all​ ​the​ ​search​ ​terms​ ​listed.​ ​ ​The​ ​more​ ​terms  listed​ ​the​ ​more​ ​results​ ​you​ ​get.  Example:​ ​information​ ​OR​ ​literacy​ ​OR​ ​media 

NOT 

Removes​ ​certain​ ​words​ ​from​ ​the​ ​search.​ ​ ​Allows​ ​you​ ​to  limit​ ​result​ ​you​ ​might​ ​not​ ​want.  Example:​ ​“information​ ​literacy”​ ​NOT​ ​K-12 

Nesting​ ​() 

Groups​ ​similar​ ​terms​ ​together​ ​for​ ​better​ ​search​ ​results.  Example:​ ​“information​ ​literacy”​ ​AND​ ​(college​ ​OR  university) 

Wildcards​ ​allow​ ​you​ ​to​ ​search​ ​for​ ​multiple​ ​terms​ ​at​ ​one​ ​time.  ● The​ ​asterisk​ ​(*)​ ​represents​ ​any​ ​number​ ​of​ ​characters​ ​including​ ​no​ ​characters​ ​at  all​ ​at​ ​the​ ​end​ ​of​ ​a​ ​word.​ ​For​ ​example,​ ​searching​ ​environ*​ ​will​ ​return​ ​results  containing​ ​environment​ ​and​ ​environmental.  ● The​ ​pound​ ​sign​ ​(#)​ ​represents​ ​any​ ​single​ ​character​ ​(e.g.,​ ​wom#n)
