Specifically, scanning is often used if you want
to:
• find the answer to a specific question
• seek an appropriate quotation reference or
statement
• locate names in a directory, words in a
dictionary, and prices in a catalogue
Tips for an effective scanning:
1. Know exactly what you are looking for.
2. Anticipate how the information will look.
3. Run your finger down the page or backward
and forward across the page. Let your eyes
follow your finger in seeking a particular piece
of information you are looking for.
