Search Engines and Library Databases employ controlled vocabularies to assign subject headings to organize and connect information resources that are similar in scope. In addition, subject headings are organized in a searchable thesaurus (e.g. MeSH) so researchers can find information quickly, without the hassle of "guesswork".
For instance, a single article can assigned numerous subject headings and contain author-supplied keywords
One step in becoming an effective searcher is to develop a Synonym Ring using Term Identification.
Develop a Synonym Ring by creating a concise list of terms that you want to use for each important keyword/subject.
