Providing guidance on how to proceed

Use Case

Procedural knowledge that university study often takes for granted is spelled out – in the example, how to carry out as thorough a literature search as possible, including advanced search techniques. The requests are entered one after another, and further tips follow on request. Note: Two versions – either the educator produces the guidance and passes it on after checking and revising it, or students obtain it themselves. In the second version there is no one to check it, so discipline-specific search strategies should be verified.

Example Prompt

* How can I conduct a literature search as efficiently as possible? I absolutely do not want to miss any important literature. Please explain advanced search techniques in detail and describe exactly how I should proceed.
* Please add more helpful tips to your answer.
* Can you give me even more tips?
