Keywords
Finding materials online and in the library can require using a variety of different words. It is a good idea to write down as many words as you can think of before and during your research.
For example, when we search the library catalog for Porpoise only 4 books turn up, but we get 20 when we search for Marine Mammals.
Ask your teacher, your librarians, your friends to help you think of other words for your topic.
