Tips for Students, Teachers and Parents

Keyword searching is power searching! One search will check the title, author, subject, series, and some contents of records on SUNLINK. It sometimes can help you find one short story in a book with many short stories, or a play in an anthology of plays. Keyword searching can get you started when you are not really sure WHAT you want to find--it can give you ideas and paths to follow!

Tips for Media Specialists

Be sure students know that they can combine keyword searching with other search limiters such as location, format, language, reading level or interest level.

Tips for narrowing search results may come in handy, too, if the keyword search terms are too broad.
