The Search Process
This is a search process we can use when looking for information both on and offline.
It helps us to think about what we're searching for and what information we get from our search.
The 'How to Evaluate Websites' document helps us to think about how we can determine if the results we have in our search and helpful or not. This would be the delve & evaluate part of the search process.
