1. Define your information need
Try and get a “sense” of what your topic is about.
Use general reference resources (i.e. dictionaries, glossaries, encyclopedia) to identify concepts and terminology central to your topic.
Steps for Successful Research
![Page 4: Searching at the TFDL September, 2013 Rosvita Vaska (vaska@ucalgary.ca)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551be1a8550346b4588b5e34/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2. Select information sources
Based on your findings in step 1, identify sources that will provide you the kind of information you need.
Will you search the library catalogue for general resources?
Will you use a database to find appropriate articles and reports?
Steps for Successful Research

3. Define your search strategy
Map out the terminology you think will yield appropriate citations.
Decide whether or not to use controlled vocabulary (subject headings or descriptors), free text searches (word searches), search for a particular author, or a combination of these.
Consider using wildcards and truncation to widen your searches.
Steps for Successful Research
![Page 6: Searching at the TFDL September, 2013 Rosvita Vaska (vaska@ucalgary.ca)](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551be1a8550346b4588b5e34/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
4. Execute your search
Just do it!
If you are looking for books on shelves, consider finding one relevant item, locate it on the shelf, and then examine the other books that are beside it

5. Evaluate the information you gather
Is the information you found relevant to your topic?
Did you find too many articles/books that are irrelevant to your topic?
Did you find too few articles to adequately cover all aspects of your topic?
Can you think of any aspect of the topic that is not covered in your search results?
Steps for Successful Research

6. Start the process over again if necessary
If you find you have too few results, consider a broader, more general view of the topic.
If you have too many citations, consider narrowing the topic down.
