Successful searching
includes
brainstorming for
keywords and
phrases, choosing
appropriate
databases or search
engines, and
combining terms
effectively. Though
information
constantly changes
on the Web,
understanding these
steps will give you
the skills to
effectively find
sources for your
research. Keep in
mind that search
engines and library
databases regularly
update their
appearance and add
new features. Look
for the help pages;
they will highlight
the best way to
search.
Once you finish
searching, you need
to decide if the
information is
appropriate for your
research. The
sources you use must
be documented
properly. In Module
3 we will discuss
how to locate,
evaluate, and cite
sources of
information.
