You are about to see questions that reference librarians might get from people who need help with their research.

![]() bank* and reform* Yes! Correct! Screen3 |
Click on the best search keywords in the statement below:
![]() neurolog* and dream* Yes! Correct! Screen4 |
Click on the best search keywords in the statement below:
![]() small business* manag* motivat* Yes! Correct! Screen5 |
Click on the best search keywords in the statement below:
![]() recycl* plastic* profit* Yes! Correct! Screen6 |
Click on the best search keywords in the statement below: Screen7
![]() advertis* eating disorder* Yes! Correct! |
Very well done!
All of the practice exercises used keyword truncation (*). But remember, it is not always necessary or even desirable to use truncation. Screen8 |
