Google is a tremendous search engine - It is very smart -can interpret "natural language" (i.e. plurals, misspellings,foreign words)

●BUT it can not always get the researcher to the end-userproduct BECAUSE of authentication and subscription!(Problem with Google Scholar as well!)

●“Deep Web“ (i.e. searching for a plane or train ticket toParis at 20.00 tonight, or facsimiles of Franz Liszt)

●Not as “smart” as Google (although this is improvingwith various library software upgrades)●Start with KEYWORD search (Use NOUNS, not verbs,adjectives, pronouns or prepositions!)●Basic principles:

●Boolean (AND, OR, NOT)●Truncation: uses stem of a word such as THEAT* retrieves theater,theatre, theaters, theatres etc.) This is also called using a WILDCARD:sometimes it is ‘?’ or ‘!’ or ‘*’●Controlled vocabulary (index, thesaurus, Library of Congress SubjectHeadings)
