Do the secrets learned in the bygone days of libraries and card catalogs and microfilm still apply today? It turns out they do indeed, and you’ve probably already been gaining experience in recognizing them throughout your LE career. It really comes down to recognizing patterns and being able to P.A.C.E. yourself when needed.
