 Billions of pieces of online information from all forms of media -- Web sites, books, newspapers, audio and video -- are all just a click away. It can seem impossible to sort through it all to find what we need. Successful Internet searching is strategic Internet searching -- selecting the best methods and tools to find answers to our questions. Using both the free Web and the invisible Web, students will learn how to focus, strategize, refine and evaluate their research throughout the search process. From formulating a solid query to understanding when and how to best use search engines, metasearch engines, subject directories, portals and subscription databases, access to the world -- or, at least, the World Wide Web -- is within easy reach. Part of the multivolume Research Skills for Students Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
