Document Summary
Leslie begins by consulting the library"s online catalog, a tool she has used before. She decides to restrict herself to books about the war and mckinley. First, leslie tries typing the words war cuba mckinley into the search box of the library"s online catalog. Immediately she is presented with a screen divided into two kinds of displays. On the left side of the display is a cluster of words, with lines connecting them. In the middle of this network-like diagram are her own search terms (war cuba mckinley) and branching out from them in all directions are other terms: cuba, Spain, president, united states, history, novel, nations, battle, mckinley, mckinney and a variety of other words that appear to be synonyms or alternate spellings (and meanings!) of the words she typed. On the right of the screen is a list of books, a few of which are indeed relevant to her topic.
