Planning for information seeking


My information learning activity question was the starting point for my searches.








Brainstorming the relationships amongst the topics, helped to identify possible search terms.

As my understanding of the topics grew I was able to add to the number of possible search terms and see connections amongst topics.



Preparing for advanced searches


This short video steps through the process of identifying key concepts and search terms and formulating a boolean search.



The resultant search query was:

(“preparatory year” OR “early childhood” OR “preschool” OR “pre-school”) AND (“information literacy” OR “digital literacy” OR “information fluency”) AND (“*nquiry-based learning” OR “guided *nquiry”)
