I think that going to the stacks is a great way to search a
library once you know the rough call number by finding a
couple of related books in the catalog. It solves all of
the issues about knowing the best keywords because you only
need to get close.

It does take more time which I supose is a strike against it
as a method but I feel that time is worth it.
