Making the Most of Keyword Searching
 |
The advantage of a keyword search
is that using keywords:
- broadens a search
- uses any word(s)
- searches all fields
- allows truncation
|
 |
Its disadvantage is that you may retrieve
irrelevant information. |
A good strategy is:
- Look at the search results from your keyword
search and find a few items that are on your
topic.
- Jot down any good subject terms that are
listed and use them later in subject searches,
or
- Click on
the linked subject term.
