2. Friendly Librarians unless you show up last minute !

3. Where do I begin? Books! Through Pilot Pilot Find the right database! Articles! But first…..

4. You need a topic! Is there a relationship between physical activity and overweight children?

5. KeywordsVs.Subject Natural language words describing your topic. A good way to start your search Pre-defined “controlled vocabulary” words assigned to describe the content of each item in a database or catalog More flexible for searching. You can combine terms in any number of ways Less flexible. You must know the exact controlled vocabulary term or phrase. Database looks for keywords anywhere in the record (title, author, subject headings, etc.) Database looks for subjects only in the subject heading or descriptor field, where the most relevant words appear. Often yields too many or too few results If a subject heading search yields too many results, you can often select subheadings to focus on one aspect of the broader subject Often yields many irrelevant resultsResults are usually very relevant to the topic
