Searching the Internet


Information of almost any kind can be found on the Internet. However, not all this information is reliable or trustworthy. You must evaluate what you find, especially if you want to use it in an assignment.

Search tools are commonly used to find online information:

 

Subject Directories

Search Engines and Metasearch Engines

 

No one engine can index all of the web, and they do not all cover the same parts of the web. You should use more than one search engine or directory to ensure a comprehensive search.
