Developing a Search Strategy
To become familiar with the various types of resources that are available from the Library's Web site, it is important to learn its purpose, how to navigate it, and how to find resources. Before constructing a search strategy, it is important to ask who, what, when, why, how. After you have developed a search strategy for a topic such as what is the relationship between United States intelligence operations and counterterrorism, it is important to find a variety of quality sources. Link sources together with "see also headings" and different types of information. The following pages will demonstrate how to develop a search strategy for this topic. Be sure to seek assistance from the reference librarians.
