Tip
Tip #2:
Use Subject Terms.
![Page 11: Planetary challenge](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/559728591a28ab52528b4571/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What terms work best in the library catalogue?
![Page 12: Planetary challenge](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/559728591a28ab52528b4571/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Google has no Subject Terms.
Use synonyms and related terms you identified while brainstorming.

Tip
Is it old?
Does it matter?
![Page 17: Planetary challenge](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062710/559728591a28ab52528b4571/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Science changes and develops.
Numbers and statistics change over time.
Environmental problems may improve or worsen.
But you may be using an older source for historical purposes...

Real life example:
Movie recommendations.

Do the same thing for your research sources.
