3. A. I went to the library page and tried a variety of key words to find a book that related to my topic.
B. I encountered many problems trying to find relevant books because my topic is unique. I had to try a wide range of key words that i thought of on previous blogs to find books that could help me.
C. I learned that key word choice and search location can be very important in finfding exactly what you want. You don't want to narrow the search too much but at the same time you want to weed out the useless information. This is especially helpful when the topic grows broader and the search terms can only do so much.

As you didn't tell me the exact keywords you tried, I'm unable to give you any feedback on your choices.
It's certainly true that your terms need to be broader than the terms you would use in a database, but in either case, it's important to select the right term and equally as challenging.
