Using Keywords
What are Keywords?
A keyword is a word or phrase that is relevant to your topic. With a keyword search, you can search all parts of a source for the words you enter in the search box. This type of searching uses "natural language" and is one you're probably already familiar with--you simply enter words or phrases into a search box that you think are relevant to your topic.
The library has several books and ebooks in our collection which can help answer your questions about using keywords. Check out the books and web resources below for additional information.
