Information Searching Guide: Information searching as a process

• Information searching begins with a need for information and the topic of the search.
• When you are planning the search:
  • you parse your topic and pick the relevant keywords 
  • you select the information sources.
• As you are doing the searches you evaluate the success of the search and edit it as needed.
• Then you select and locate the most relevant documents and full texts, both electronic and printed as needed.
• Once it is time to use the information you evaluate it for relevance and use the information ethically
• In practice the different parts of the process happen at the same time.
