Editor's Notes

  • #32 Do not type the whole question in the search box. Typing the whole question often leads to a large number of and inappropriate search results. what precautionary measures should you observe when using a public computer?
  • #34 Put the word “AND” between each keyword to create a search string.
  • #35 Identify synonyms of the key words. Not all databases or articles use the same words to describe a topic. Group similar words together by using the word “OR” for a quick and relevant search.
