These eight steps are common tasks in most paper assignments and theses.

1. Focussing and delimiting: from subject to search criteria

    

2. Types of information: identification and conscientious use

    

3. The best search tools: choose them well

    

4. Succesful searches: matching your needs with the content available

    

5. 80000 hits: how to select?

    

6. Getting it: where is the full text publication?

    

7. Evaluating: on relevance, trustworthiness and scientific status

    

8. Citing: managing, sharing and citing references smartly

All information on this site is linked to one of these eight steps. Alternatively you can use the list of all SfS pages.
