Beginning a search
Start by entering some search terms into the search box. IRIS automatically performs an OR search and searches for any words entered. For example, the following
will bring search results including word1 OR word2 OR both.
You can also use quotation marks around a search term or phrase to find records that contain the exact words or phrases.
Refining the search with search filters
Refine your search results with the filters down the left of the screen. For example, you can search for all IRIS content with * and use Research Area filter to refine your search results.
Terms used in the IRIS database
These lists of terms have been defined by the IRIS team to create a systematic labelling system for instruments and second language research. The terms may give you some ideas for your search. Please note, a search will look for any term that you enter across the whole database, so you are not restricted to these terms.
The lists of terms are modified where appropriate, for example when uploaders provide new labels for their instruments. This list is, therefore, 'organic' in response to feedback from users.
