Searching the Web - Intro
Successfully finding what you’re looking for on the Web, quickly and easily, doesn’t need to seem like an impossible dream! The tutorials in this workshop series will introduce you to the different types of search tools that can be used for searching the Internet, briefly describing the advantages and disadvantages of each. You will also learn a little bit about going beyond a basic keyword search, by using special commands and operators in your search query, as well as making use of the special features and functions that individual search tools might offer.
Additional information, which builds on the basic foundation presented in this Workshop, can be found in the Searching the Web - Advanced Workshop tutorials.
