Searching for Keywords

Keywords are … well, KEY when it comes to finding what you need to help in your research. If you have some good keywords, provide them to your IP – Information Professional. You’ll be glad you did.

One good source of keywords is patent literature. For example, the following patent application yielded the keywords shown below. When combined in a Google or Yahoo! search with “desulfurization,” they can yield interesting reading matter.
