English Resources: Database Subscriptions

Think Before You Search

  • What am I looking for? What do I want? What am I trying to find?

  • How would I (or someone else) talk about this? What keywords could I use in my search query?

  • How can I describe this better? Which of these keywords are common or general words? Which would be more specific? Are there better words I could use?

  • What kind of result am I looking for? Do I want a definition, a map, an image or a video?
