| When selecting search terms, get the who, what, where, when and how? Identify terms of art, potential subject headings and sub-headings, cites to any law, and terms describing distinguishing facts or legal issues which may prove critical to solving legal issues. After identifying these terms, think of synonyms. Beware of acronyms and "red herrings" (i.e., any time you chose to include a term as part of your search there is the danger that you may exclude certain relevant documents). |
