Research Strategy
• Finding the right search term• Start big and then use patterns you
see in the results list to narrow your topic
• Most resources will have built into their system a “thesaurus” or
“subject” or suggested topics links, use them
• Ask a librarian or your professor for suggestions
• Catalogs – for locating books, maps, musical scores, govt. documents, etc.
• Databases – usually for locating periodical and newspaper articles, but may cover other materials as well
