What will I learn?

The Research Methods in Documentation Course gives you practical techniques to turn vague questions into precise, effective searches. Learn Boolean logic, truncation, field tags, and proximity operators, then apply them across catalogs, databases, and the open web. You will design mini-guides, assess result quality, refine strategies, and document reproducible search processes you can reuse and share confidently.
