Search term mapping steps revised for assignment

Search Term Mapping Keep a running list of search terms and phrases you are trying as you search the databases. For each source, jot down and map the key words/concepts/phrases you are finding as you skim and scan articles from that database. DO NOT TAKE NOTES. This process helps us to be more mindful of building the language or vocabulary of our topic and to possibly refine/narrow/focus our topic. The mapping process helps us to get more robust results and to “mine” our topic more thoughtfully as we search. The mapping process allows to jot down key ideas/concepts that can not only help our search process but can also identify points of interest to revisit and search more deeply once we narrow our topic focus.
