Search Engines and Subject Directories
A subject directory is a service that offers a collection of links to Internet resources submitted by site creators or evaluators and organized into subject categories. Directory services use selection criteria for choosing links to include, though selectivity varies among services.
A search engine service provides a searchable database of Internet files collected by a computer program, called a wanderer, crawler, robot, worm or spider. Indexing is created from the collected files, and the results are presented in a schematic order. There is no selection criteria for the collection of files. Exercise caution when using search engines for academic research.
Boolean Searching
A basic introduction to the concepts of Boolean searching. Particularly useful if you are relying on search engines for academic research.
Evaluating Internet Resources
Not all print sources are equally valuable or accurate, similarly internet resources vary substantially in quality. Primary evaluation criteria include: accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency, and coverage.
