STARTING OUT It's always a good idea to THINK about your search before you begin. Create a search strategy in your head by asking yourself this question: What do I want to do? Browse? Locate a specific piece of information? Retrieve everything I can on the subject? Your answer will determine how you conduct your search and what tools you will use. If you're

CHECKING THE SOURCE You can expect to find everything on the web: silly sites, hoaxes, frivolous and serious personal pages, commercials, reviews, articles, full-text documents, academic courses, scholarly papers, reference sources, and scientific reports. How do you sort it all out? READING WEB ADDRESSES First, you need to know how to read a web address, or URL (Universal

WHAT ARE SUBJECT DIRECTORIES? Subject directories, unlike search engines, are created and maintained by human editors, not electronic spiders or robots. The editors review and select sites for inclusion in their directories on the basis of previously determined selection criteria. The resources they list are usually annotated. Directories tend to be smaller than search engine

WHAT ARE METASEARCH ENGINES? Metasearch engines do not crawl the web compiling their own searchable databases. Instead, they search the databases of multiple sets of individual search engines simultaneously, from a single site and using the same interface. Metasearchers provide a quick way of finding out which engines are retrieving the best results for you in your search. HOW

Need information? There are hundreds of search engines out there on the web. . .Five major "search engines" do stand out, however, for their massive catalogs of information: Google.com and its Amazon.com variant, A9.com, AllTheWeb.com, AskJeeves.com, Vivisimo.com and Dogpile.com.These five database engines use "spiders" (automated programs) to read thousands of pages per day, and index them for

It is really more like "Scuba Diving the Internet", with all the complexities of equipment, navigation theory, and understanding the wildlife and the terrain.Here, we will focus on equipment needed to "successfully dive the Net"!

Sometime in the mid 1960’s, during the Cold War, it became apparent that there was a need for a bombproof communications system. A concept was devised to link computers together throughout the country. With such a system in place large sections of the country could be nuked and messages could still get through.In the beginning, only government “think tanks” and a few universities were linked.
