As you walk through the mall you see people agonizing about what type of digital camera or new computer they want to buy. They have a mile long list of requirements for the devices and you often see the salespeople shaking their heads because what they want is very hard to find. If you ask these same people what requirements do you have for information their answer usually is whatever comes up first in Google.
Everyone has requirements for their information but do not know them until they are frustrated for their process.
Before you start your search answer these questions:
- Do the articles need to be from peer reviewed journals?
- How recently published should the articles be?
- How many articles do I need?
- Am I just looking for articles or should I find books, websites, etc.?
- How long do I have to find this information?
Knowing this information before you start searching can help you evaluate your results later.
