Topic breakdown & guided searches exercise (Updated over a year ago)
Handout used with two exercises (can be split to just cover one): breaking down a topic into main ideas and coming up with alternate vocabulary (done via class demo, then pairs do individual topics); running possible searches to see what works & what doesn't in database research (followed by discussion of why things do & don't work; what's essential to know; what's different from Google)
