articles about their implementation. Decide which kind of article you want and
search accordingly.
- Use keyword searching for easily-distinguished terms and phrases, such as
"Goals 2000" and subject searching for terms and concepts related to
implementation, such as "improvisation".
- When you find an article that is close to what you want, use the subject headings or
descriptors from that article to create a new search for similar articles.
- Use the words and, or, and sometimes not to combine terms and
get more specific.
- And means the article must have both words and will return a smaller number of
results.

number of results.

what you want.
