Google Web: How to leverage it for academic purposes • Primary source materials (government documents, international materials, technical reports, company policies, etc.) • Locating these with site-specific searching (domain searching; TLD searching) Examples: site:gov.ng domestic staffing site:state.gov country reports human rights site:undp.org development indicators climate change site:state.co.us marijuana regulation filetype:pdf site:gob.mx water statistics filetype:pdf

  4. TLDs: Top-Level Domains • Google Web is most effectively searched when you can restrict searching to a top-level domain (like .edu, .gov, .jp) • To discover all the TLDs for countries, type TLD in a Google search box.
