How do I find web sites that I can use for my assignments?
Library Research Guides pull together web sites (often scholarly) that have been evaluated by librarians.
Gateways and directories let you browse links gathered by subject content such as Yahoo, Google directory, and other subject specific directories.
Search professional societies and organizations on your "Who cares list."
Search libraries like the Library of Congress or large research universities like UCLA that have digitized resources not available in search engines.
Use
your keywords and search statement. Put quotes "" around your search phrases.
Use the "Advanced Search." Limit to a specific domain (i.e. .gov, .edu).
Use
more than one search engine. Have you ever used Teoma? Metacrawler?
