Imagine you are searching for information in the world's largest library, where the books and journals (stripped of their covers and title pages) are shelved in no particular order, and without reference to a central catalogue. A researcher's nightmare? Without question. The World Wide Web defined? Not exactly. Instead of a central catalogue, the Web offers the choice of dozens of different search tools, each with its own database, command language, search capabilities, and method of displaying results.

Decide whether a search engine or a subject directory is the best vehicle for the information you need. The more specific the information needed, the more likely you will want to use a search engine or a meta search engine. The amount of information on the Internet can be overwhelming. to narrow your search results, use a search engine that allows boolean operators (and, not, or) and enter as many keywords as possible. Get used to more than one search engine. Read the "tips" provided by them and you will be surprised how easier searching becomes. For example, AltaVista allows using the + sign instead of writing out AND. HAPPY SEARCHING!!!!
