Search Strategy
For a start you need to know what information you are looking for in order to have any chance of finding it!

Consider:
What do I really want to find out?
Why do I need to find this out?
What are the key words and ideas of the task?
What do I need to do/ what am I expected to do?
What do I already know?
How much time have I got?

The Intranet has a whole section of information pages which outline the Information Process and which will help you define a clear search strategy for your chosen topic.

You could also link to the Graphic Organisers page of the Learning Quest course to learn how to map out your chosen topic.
