Lesson 5 Challenge

Those Keyword Challenges were tricky because the terms the challenge used to explain each category took me a little while to clearly understand. I get keywords, but the term "important ideas for which alternate words may be more effective" is a long statement as is "words that will probably have little effect." Once I got the idea the exercise was easier to do. There is also something to be said for experience. It takes some time working on a Reference desk to understand how some questions asked need to be restated to get the best results. You may have heard the statement "Librarians: the Ultimate Search Engine" that is because we try to ask the right questions even if the person asking the question isn't sure what answer they are looking for.
