Long Descriptions of infographics and images in Guides

Keywords:

• "Natural Language" terms- the words you come up with.
• Good to start with when exploring your topic and deciding your focus.
• Database will search for keywords in every area of the text (title, body, author, etc.), which may give you too many results that don't fit what you're looking for.
• example: heart attack

Subject Headings:

• Also called "index terms" or "controlled vocabulary".
• Specific words that experts have agreed upon to identify an item or idea.
• This makes sure you will see all information related to that subject, rather than a combination of the words "heart" and "attack".
• example: myocardial infarction
