Q: Which words should I use when doing a search?
A.
If you're trying to be efficient in your searching, it's important
to know the difference between keywords and
subject headings.
Here's an effective strategy:
- Do a keyword seach, using words
that you think of, to describe your topic.
- Then, find a result that looks relevant.
- Look at the details for the relevant result. Which
subject headings or descriptors (controlled
vocabulary) are listed?
- Click on one of them to do a new
search for more articles/books on this exact topic
