TOOL TIPS

General Search Box Strategy: When you enter something in the search box, see what you get, and continue the process until you find what you are after, you are using the basic Search Box Strategy.

Searchers who have refined the Search Box Strategy will think about what they need to find, carefully choose keywords based on that, do a preliminary search, scan the results for clues, and persistently revise search terms until they find what they seek.

You can become a power searcher by practicing this strategy!
