1) Make a search diary (spreadsheet, include Boolean search)
2) Don't rely on the SuperSearch MultiDatabase Search feature
3) Make a time to speak to a subject librarian
4) Think around the topic as much as possible and record all possible terms that could be used
5) Remember to try UK and US spellings, alternative and related terms;
international terms; former terms (i.e. non pc versions); broader terms (general results); and narrower terms (may be too specific)
6) E-mail alerts
