Abstract

Well chosen keywords in titles can be significant in enabling optimal document retrieval and title keyword searches employing the natural language of the researcher to augment controlled vocabulary searches. Authors and researchers interested in a particular topic share a vocabulary that contains keywords useful in database searching and it is important for authors to incorporate such keywords in their titles. Both authors and researchers will benefit if titles facilitate electronic access. Librarians can assist in educating on the benefits of using distinctive and selective keawords in titles by making guidelines available
