Tips for Students, Teachers and Parents

When you need to find resources on a specific topic, the most effective search is a Subject Search. Be sure you understand the difference between searching by title, author or subject--you will get very different results!

Tips for Media Specialists

Be sure to teach students how to combine a Subject Search with other search terms, such as web sites only, or books only, or Spanish language only. If the results list is too brief, it is easy to broaden the search.
