coriolis and pilot correction

From the manual of aviation meteorology-put out by the commonwealth bureau of meteorology in Oz.

After a very un-comprehensive definition of what it is they state "Pilots must make navigational corrections to allow for Coriolis effect"

I have never intentionally done that....what are they talking about. What is the adjustment? Is it in the planning stages, the inflight stages etc.

Help would be appreciated.
