June 3, 2008: Step Zero: What to do Before Searching

This article was set up similar to a "How To" or expositoy text. It went through the basic steps of what to do when searching for a topic or phrase on the internet. The guide this article suggested was to use a "Must, Might, and Musn't" type of search plan. The goal of this plan is to pre-determine what is essential for your search and what might get in the way of your search. The key part of this article was "know your topic"! You have to know what you are searching for in order to narrow down your search, which in time will make better use of your time.
