Web Searching Guides & Tutorials
The following guides and tutorials cover the basics of web searching,
search strategies, search engines, subject directories, and other Internet search tools.
Subject Directories
Subject directories list websites by subject or topic. Many subject directories
include websites that have been evaluated for quality and reliability.
Search Engines
Search engines are the most widely used Internet search tools;
however, they have their limitations: they do not distinguish between
reliable and unreliable web sites (it is up to you to evaluate the
quality of the information they retrieve) and you must use them
correctly to get the best results (click on the "How to use"
and "Advanced Search" links for more information).
Blogs & Discussion Groups
Deep Web
The Deep Web (also referred to as the hidden or invisible web) consists of thousands of databases and other information
resources whose contents cannot be retrieved by most search engines.
