Often, a successful search strategy uses both keyword searching and subject searching:
- Conduct a keyword search to find materials on your topic.
- Examine the list of materials to locate items whose content seems to match your topic.
- Once you have identified an item(s), look at the subject field to explore subject heading(s) that best match your research topic
- Conduct a new search for material on your topic. This time, select subject search and use any of the subject headings that looked promising.
