Understanding the Resource Typology is helpful in building Collections---as the resource types can be used to filter your data library in addition to plaintext searching. (For example: if you are trying to build a Collection of SBDCs in Baltimore, you could search "SBDC" and also apply the "Support Organizations" resource type filter.)
