A good start is half the job. Even if you are looking for literature for your assignment, research, or thesis. In the first part of this training we will pay attention to the following:
Start with orientation, create a mind map so you can get a better idea of your subject.
Check to see if there is enough information available about your subject.
Make the subject specific and manageable by defining boundaries.
Formulate a main question that describes exactly what you want to know, and gives direction to your search process.
Formulate sub-questions that support your main question.
Collect search terms based on your main question and sub-questions.
