Books: Considerations for Searching

When searching for information in books, consider:

intended audience
- scholarly or popular
timeliness
- books usually have a longer publication cycle, so the information can assumed to be current to roughly 6-12 months before the date when the book was published
subject
- books that are located through databases and the library catalog will likely be tagged with keywords and subject headings that refer to the content of the book as a whole; therefore, it is important to think broadly in terms of what kind search terms you use
