Problems with Searching
Are you using the right terms?
Hard to see if youre missing anything (searching
blind)

The right way to search
Different people can use different resources and
methods to find the same papers
How you search depends on:
What youre looking for
How much do you know already
Your own preferences
Very precise searching vs.
Broad searching followed by filtering
How much time you have
