Focus on the Basics...
Using the Best Technique in WNC
The new database – World News Connection (File 985) – provides content from countries, such as Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Vietnam, and others whose media outlets are not widely distributed outside their own national boundaries. Using Dialog commands and indexing with which you are familiar makes searching this new file easy. Use the BEST technique (BEGIN, EXPAND, SELECT, TYPE) to research the current Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak and treatment for the disease.
