Hints for Use
--Start with the INDEX at the back
--Look for bibliography at the end of the section or table for more sources
--Think more broadly about your topic if you do not find information
--Think more narrowly if you are not finding the right information
--Always try to think of a couple of ways to describe your topic (synonyms) as researchers may use different terms to describe the same concept (i.e. Internet or World Wide Web)
