Generally about Search Strategy 

General things to be aware of by building up the personal intelligence system.


When I build up my personal Intelligence system I have to be careful, because of all the resources out on the Web. Therefore I found it most valuable to start my personal intelligence system in the way that I describe the strategy which I am using.

After searching a lot on the Internet I have been very carefully with which the sources I choose.
It is a lot of valuable sources, which are collected from either Librarians or Information professional and these sources I have found best to use.

To be effective in searching on the Internet you have to have a simple method. You have to have a strategy, otherwise you will loose yourself in all the information available on the Internet.

Out of my experience I only use certain starting points, some subjects three, two till three search engines and I use Google Group (earlier Deja.com) and Liszt. I am using deep Web Resources.

My method is quite simple I go to the known and quality proved sources first.

 

I am using different sources:

  • Information sought by me
  • Information sent to me
  • Information assembled to me
  • Information archived by me
  • Information archived by others

  1. I define the research question or problem
  2. I define some keywords ,I am thinking synonyms
  3. I use Copernic (Meta) to get an overview.
    I find indications on interesting sites. I write down the sources, but I do not go into the articles to read . Sometimes I also choose two/three general search engines in addition to get the overview.
  4. Then I think about which sources are natural to look into: Newspaper, magazines. News archive, databases, special communities, references, libraries etc.
  5. Then I use guides and subjects threes
  6. I use some of the search engines more goal oriented
  7. I also seek newgroups and mailing lists
