Catalogs, Databases, & Search Engines
• A comprehensive list of the books, periodicals, maps, and other materials in a given collection.
• A large, regularly updated file of digitized information related to a specific subject or field.
• Computer software designed to help the user locate information available at sites on the World Wide Web by selecting categories from a hierarchical directory of subjects (example: Yahoo!) or by entering appropriate keywords or phrases (Google).

about the interviewee• Prioritize your questions and ask
the most important questions first• Decide your goals for the
interview
![Page 17: COMP I Search Strategies Interview Techniques](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816103550346895dd04796/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

help your interviewee discuss this information

How to ask good questions • Ask leading questions rather than
asking yes or no questions– Is Uncle John crazy ? (yes or no question)– Why did Uncle John live alone in that shack
for so many years when he owned three houses? (leading question)
• The response to a leading question will give you more detail to support your research

Developing Good Questions• Do as much research as possible in
advance on the person and/or topic you are working on
• Sources might include – Online Catalog (Ebooks)– Databases– World Wide Web
• Prepare your questions in advance in writing and bring them to the interview.
