  3. State of the Internet
  4. The Internet and the WWW Terms often used interchangeable, but are actually different. Internet World Wide Web

  7. Search Engines A web search engine is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. Search results are presented in a list of results called “hits”.
  8. Search Engines When you use a search engine, you can only get to a certain amount of websites. Spiders and robots go out and index every single word. When you get 1 million hits it is because of the spiders and robots. Google follows links – so if there are no links, it will not find your site.
  9. What is in a URL? Each website has its own unique address – Uniform Resource Locator – URL Part before the colon describes the access method (protocol) http:// means it’s a World Wide Web server www = World Wide Web page Domains =type of organization sponsor Org – nonprofit Edu – educational Gov – government Com - commercial
  10. Reliability Just because it’s on the Web, doesn’t mean it’s true. Be sure to check who creates the information on the site. Notice how often it is updated.

  13. Search Strategy Plan your search – browsing is a HUGE time waster! Be specific on your searches. Don’t jump around – be methodical – keep track of keywords. Determine the best search engine and use it.
  14. Quick Tips Use nouns as keywords Never use articles, pronouns, or prepositions (a, the, he, it, to, from) Use 2-6 keywords to limit results Combine keywords with quotes if possible Use Advanced Search options Spell carefully
  15.

  23. Search Engines

  24. Biggest search engine Results are ranked by how many times a page is linked to, how important linking site is, and the prominence of a search term within a page Easy to use Unique limiters (images, books) Find multimedia resources Supplement to library databases, not replacement
  25. Searching Strategies for Google Be specific! Use objects as keywords with most important first Use three words Combine keywords in a statement Use + or – signs (if you put a + then it must be there) Ex: Saturn – cars – automobile Use quotation marks around phrase Try truncation or wildcards Ex: libr* wor*s *cats Ex: Pluto – dog Pluto – planet + dog Born on the 4th of July Add quotations Then + presidents
  26. Google Special Features Cached: View a snapshot of each page as it looked when indexed I’m Feeling Lucky: Bypass results and go directly to the first web page on a regular Google search View as html Similar pages: Display pages related to a particular result Definitions: glossary definitions gathered from various online sources ex: define: pdf
  27. Other Google Searches Google Images Google Books Search full text of books May see preview of book or entire text Can create personalized library Advanced Google Can limit search to: Language File type, i.e. PDF, PPT Date Occurrences, i.e., in title Domain, i.e., .edu, .gov, .com, .net Google Scholar (scholar.google.com) Search for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research Find articles from academic publishers, professional societies, universities, etc. A “Cited by” link identifies other papers that have cited the original one listed Access to full text only available with subscription Not a reliable sole source for searching scholarly literature
