Or l’ll use a little location, language and logic to crack
this nut!

Language: A bit too broad...
Hi! I need stuff on social skills!
Ummm…I’ll be back...
Do you need to know abouttheories? Techniques? Tests that measure reading readiness?

Language: A bit too narrow... Hi! I need 10 articles from refereedjournals in the past 2 years that prove Dr. Seuss books can teach social skills to autistic kids through rhyming words!
Ummm…I’ll be right back...
We may not be able to find 10 articles in the past two years with those specific terms. We may not find the Doc on call; we may not find him, not at all!

Language: Just right... Hi! My thesis is: “Social skills can be taught to autistic pre-schoolers using rhythm and rhyme”
Whoa! Info overload! I’m taking a break! I’ll do this later!
Great! Let’s break that thesis down into concepts and keywords,look for books for background,articles for current research, maybe a Mental Measurement test…

Subject or keyword search?
SUBJECT
Controlled vocabulary
Uses subject headings
Search-subject line
Usually fewer hits
Narrower, more exact
KEYWORD
Natural language
Uses Boolean logic
Search-whole record
Usually more hits
Broader, less exact
ADVICE: Do a keyword search first, find subject headings in the records, then do a subject search
