Chapter 3. Search Systems and Finding Tools
Abstract
Chapter 3 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 52, no. 2) Learning Management Systems: Tools for Embedded Librarianship
Using search systems and finding tools comprise a major portion of the research process. Finding needed information often requires using the library’s online catalog, discovery service, databases, search engines and portals. Because each tool leads the researcher to content not duplicated elsewhere, it become necessary to use a combination of search tools.
