Assignment 14: Google 101

During Google 101 I learned that you can use Google in almost the same way that you use a research database except you just use "+" instead of "AND".  When using Google I got the most results but much of it wasn't very relevant to what I was looking for.  Also I learned that you can upload pictures onto Google and it will find you any websites it could have come from.  I think I will probably use that feature a lot when looking for art or violin sheet music, it could be very helpful in finding new websites for things I need.  I will probably start using Google more often because of what I learned in Google 101.  Now I actually know how to use Google.  You don't just have to type in a couple words, to narrow your search you can use a search string, I did not know that, knowing that will help me in my school work.

  1. Hi Ava,

    I hope that the Google tricks will help you narrow down results in Google a bit better in order to locate what you want...but don't forget that, no matter where you look for resources, you will always need to use the evaluation criteria in order to determine whether or not what you retrieve is good for research.

    Please let me know if you have any questions...
    Sincerely,
    Professor Wexelbaum
