Chapter 2: Locating and Retrieving Information

1. Using Keyword when your term may be very new, very distinctive, or jargon, e.g. "cyberspace", "HTML".
2. Use a variety of keywords.  There may be additional items on your topic that use different terms.
3. Be aware that you may retrieve items not related to your topic.
4. When you cannot remember the exact title, do a keyword search using the title words you remember.

For example, using the keyword "cricket"...

...will retrieve items about the sport...

...as well as the insect.
