Chris Nolan gave us a great presentation on tips and ideas for making our web surfing more efficient and successful. Search engines such as google, dogpile, yahoo, and microsoft are extremely helpful in starting a search. Also using advanced key word searches or options such as google scholar, which I had no previous knowlege of, and google books are great ways to narrow down our searches even more. Google also allows you to add other engine links, suggest terms, and eliminate cookies from your search. Mr. Nolan also pointed out that directories such as Librarian's Internet Index, InfoMine, and Trinity Library lists are very helpful places to begin your search.
*One thing that I found surprising was that Google actually includes the original page or the link labled “cached” where google has indexed and highlighted all the key terms you're looking for.
