Brainstorming helps you choose good search terms before you begin. For example, look at the list of keywords and phrases we thought of for this paper topic:

Installing Internet filtering in libraries is censorship.

 

Keywords :
Internet
libraries
censorship
filtering
filters
software
Web

 

Phrases :
filtering software
freedom of speech
Internet filtering
freedom of information

 


Now it's your turn. On the next page, we'll give you a sample topic so you can practice brainstorming for good keywords and phrases. For each of the three steps, type all the terms you can think of in a text box and click on "Process It!"'

 

When you show the computer your list, it will show you ours. Let's see your "Thought Process" in action.
