Devise Strategy
What questions do you need to answer for your career assignment?
How many sources did your instructor ask you to find?
The Reference books and online resources probably answered most of your questions but if you need more information you will want to search in the catalog for more books, use a database to find articles from magazines and newspapers, or use the Career & Job Finding Guide under Web Guides -- all from the library homepage.
Key word grid
If you're researching a particular topic, such as "job trends", then you need to list as many synonyms and related key words as possible. Use the list of words to create multiple combinations with the word AND in order to have a successful search:
- jobs or employment or occupation
- trends or outlook or projection
| job* |
trend* |
|||
| employ* | outlook | |||
| occupation* | forecast* |
- Use symbols such as the * at the end of key words to pick up alternate endings. (employ* = employment, employee, employer, employers, etc.)
