For the purposes of this chapter, information components include any <strong>Microsoft</strong><br />

SharePoint component that contains information, such as documents, list items,<br />

libraries, lists, areas, topics, <strong>and</strong> keywords. In the previous chapter, we used documents<br />

<strong>and</strong> document libraries to store <strong>and</strong> find information. Document libraries are<br />

just a list of documents along with the profile information you choose to associate<br />

with them. In this chapter, we’ll exp<strong>and</strong> on the ideas of a list <strong>and</strong> discuss how to<br />

make information easy to find.<br />

Lists, sites, <strong>and</strong> workspace sites are other locations where information can be<br />

stored. Sites <strong>and</strong> workspace sites were discussed in Chapter 16, “Administering Windows<br />

SharePoint Services.” Lists will be discussed in this chapter as will Topics,<br />

areas, listings, keywords, keyword Best Bets, <strong>and</strong> document metadata. Lists, like<br />

document libraries, hold information, whereas Topics, areas, listings, keywords,<br />

keyword Best Bets, <strong>and</strong> document metadata help users find information.<br />
