Objectives for Library Session

  • Develop keywords and search strategies based on driving question. 
  • Find and evaluate sources to explore existing research. 

Developing Keywords

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Write out your research question. For example: "How does AI impact the future of management?"
  2. Pull out the most important words from your research question. AI, management, future
  3. Think of synonyms for these keywords.  AI: artificial intelligence, machine learning. Management: manager, leadership, administration. Future: evolution, progress.
  4. Think of broader keywords. AI: emerging technology, computer science, large language model. Broader keywords are helpful if you aren't getting enough results.
  5. Think of narrower keywords. AI: ChatGPT, robotics, generative AI. Narrower keywords are helpful if you're getting too many results.
  6. Start searching a library database with your keywords. Remember to try out different keyword combinations to get the best search results.
  7. Collect additional keywords as you search.
