Search Tip

Often, a successful search strategy uses both keyword searching and subject searching:

  1. Do a keyword search to find materials on your topic.

  2. Examine the list of materials to locate one whose content seems to match your topic.

  3. Once you have this one item on the computer screen, look at the subject/descriptor field to determine which subject/descriptor heading best matches your topic.

  4. Do a new search for material on your topic. This time, try a subject search for the subject/descriptor heading that looked promising.
