Searching the Web

  • Use a directory or guide: Librarians have selected websites and organized them in lists or directories.

InfoMine: Librarians have selected these resources because they meet high standards for quality and will serve a scholarly or academic audience.
Librarians' Internet Index
Internet Public Library

  • Use a search engine: Google is a good place to get a large number of results.
  • Use advanced searching techniques to limit a search. In Google Advanced Search, for example, you can look only at sites that end in "edu" to find information from colleges and universities.

1. Click Advanced Search.
