Effective keyword searching

Before you begin searching for information, think about what it is you really need. Save time by searching with relevant keywords, rather than phrases. Make a note of alternative terms.

Tip: There is an excellent Thesaurus of management terminology in the Proquest database. Where is the information most likely to be available? In published literature, in an official website? Utilise the advanced search option on search engines and databases.
