First, my search strategies have shifted after I read this chapter of the book. I knew about the narrowing down words and using specific words to search databases but i didn’t know that they were differences between controlled vocabularies and keywords when searching.
At the beginning of the reading when Badke started talking about a standardize way of labeling different categories of books, made standardization looked bad. But he continue to say although it doesn’t give power to us to edit the tags or headings, it’s the best way to easily find things of the same content.
The advantage that the Library of Congress has put in place about searching for a particular topic is great. web browsers does not look for content of material in the article but it looks for whatever your typed in the search engine. To eliminate most of the unwanted results, we should start using more controlled vocabularies then use keywords to refine our results to reflect exactly what we searching in a database.
