ipl2: Information You Can Trust
ipl2: Information You Can Trust

The document provides guidelines for writing search descriptions when responding to questions as a digital reference librarian. Key points include keeping descriptions short but informative, listing search steps, and providing full URLs and search details to allow users to replicate searches in databases, search engines, and subject directories. Descriptions should teach search techniques and explain how to access paywalled or library-required sources.
