I have read some of my classmates’ blogs and accumulated some pretty cool information about what Chris Nolan spoke about last Thursday. Obviously, Google and other search engines are absolutely crucial to our lives as students because we use it every day as our lifeline to the latest and greatest stuff on the Internet. I knew you could find a bunch of useless junk on these sites, but I did not know that there are legitimate sources that deviate from the beaten path of normal, everyday World Wide Web searches.
According to Chris, there is a far better way to sift through the endless amount of blah that you find on any ordinary Google search. I had never heard of Google Scholar…until just now. This is an extra feature of Google that I never knew existed, but I am so glad that I do now. Google Scholar is a great way for students to break down searches to information that is relevant to their needs. This particular feature offers articles, books, magazines, and anything else you could possibly need for your academic quest. Furthermore, Google Books is an effective way to limit your search to only books and narrow your investigation down even more. Honestly, I feel like I have learned an entirely different way to search the Internet… The Google possibilities are endless, and now quite controllable.
