Extractions: S Despite the rapid proliferation and development of Web search systems over the past months, little attention has been devoted to the advanced features professional searchers and librarians have become accustomed to in other online information resources. Web novices and information professionals alike often overlook or miss detailed information such as: In simple Web systems such as Yahoo! and Aliweb, knowing advanced search features is not as necessary because the depth of indexing and the power of the search engine is not as great. However, with more sophisticated Web search systems, the need to narrow basic keyword retrieval due to large retrieval sets using types of features available in established commercial online services is becoming painfully obvious. As the Web grows, and databases searched by the major Web search engines increase in size, the power to seek, index, and retrieve information must growalong with the information professional's knowledge of how to effectively search the Web. Typical end-users may have no trouble browsing and locating information on uncomplicated topics, but constructing complex search queries using sophisticated Web search engines is another matter entirely. End-users may increasingly rely on information professionals for complex Web searching, much as they do for online commercial databases.

Field searching is something that the serious searcher has been able to take for granted when searching most databases. It lets us quickly get to a highly relevant set of records or easily find the citation for a title we know. It lets us distinguish between a sales figure of $1,000,000 and the same figure as long-term debt. With traditional online services such as Dialog, even occasional users take advantage of the ability to search specific fields. Most searchers frequently use AU=, PY=, LA=, and a few others, and literally hundreds of other fields are used for more refined searches. When precision is the goal, field searching is indispensable. However, as we explore Web search engines, we discover that there is little we can take for granted, including the ability to search within a specific field. With the typically high noise level of many straightforward Web searches, the potential value of precision tools, such as field searching, is especially obvious. Fortunately, some Web search engines do provide at least a rudimentary field search capability, but because of the immature nature of the engines, the options are neither very numerous nor particularly sophisticated.

Extractions: We report on a study concerned with understanding people's adaptation to new information searching environments. We have investigated how people with varying degrees of familiarity with information retrieval systems, and varying models of the information retrieval process, interacted in an information retrieval system which did not support exact match retrieval with structured queries, but which did support best match ranked output retrieval with unstructured queries and automatic relevance feedback. Our results include a classification of "normal" information retrieval strategies, the description of several adaptation strategies, and the relationships between type and strength of people's mental models of information retrieval and their searching behaviors in the new information retrieval context. An important aspect of our study is its methodology for understanding and relating cognitive contexts to information seeking behaviors. 1. Introduction
On Menu Based Web Searching most seasoned searchers are familiar with pull down Although some browsers allow youto use this field for searching, this is not the field provided by the http://www.pandia.com/goalgetter/menu.html
Extractions: Menu based Web searching PANDIA HOME If you discuss advanced Internet searching with search engine officials, they will probably tell you that most searchers are not interested in learning true Boolean searching, and that they prefer menu based search options. This may be so, but then again most searchers do not know what they are missing. We find menu based search facilities to be more confusing than Boolean searching, and they are not as flexible when it comes to building more complex queries. That being said, menu based pages for advanced searching may be quite efficient, as soon as you get a grip on how they work. (If you do not know a search form from a web address field or a pull down menu from a radio button, please read the absolute beginners text box below first.) A menu based search page will include one (or more) search forms where you enter your search query. The simplest versions will give you one form to enter all your keywords, and a pull down menu that gives various options regarding how these keywords are to be treated by the search engine. Normally these options are: All these words , meaning that the search engine is to fetch pages that have all these words on them (equals Boolean AND or +) Any words or One of these words

World Wide Web (WWW) Published on: Sunday 20th June 1999 By: Pankaj Kamthan The Web is one of the world's largest sources of publicly available information. It provides a myriad of information, though still lacks in navigational aids. It is important for users to search relevant information efficiently and quickly on the Web. As GVU Center's 10th WWW User Survey (October 1998) shows, finding both existing and new information is a significant problem that is currently facing the Web in general. Figure 1. Problems Using the Web. To help us deal with incredible amount of data, a new skill is needed: Web searching. Given a topic, anyone with a Web browser and access to the Internet can search the Web for information on that topic. Searching, however, is not the same thing as finding. There is little organization or consistency on the Web. A variety of problems can occur while searching through the Web: Lack of Success.

Tips who are not accustomed to searching the literature outside databases are powerfulresource tools, most databases do on CDROM to become familiar with abstracts http://www.nal.usda.gov/awic/alternatives/tips.htm
Extractions: Animal Welfare Information Center The following guidelines were developed to assist researchers, information specialists, and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) members, when conducting literature searches to determine if alternatives to the use of animals exist and whether a protocol unnecessary duplicates previous research. When searching for alternatives, the staff at the Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC) refer to the tenets of the 3 R's introduced by W.M.S. Russell and R.L Burch(1959) in their book The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique 1. The 3 R's represent reduction in the number of animals used, refinement of techniques and procedures that reduce pain and distress, and replacement of animal with non-animal techniques. The first step in conducting a search for alternatives, involves communication between the investigator and the information specialist. The specialist cannot effectively search for alternatives without a basic understanding of the type of research the investigator is proposing. The most efficient means of communicating is a direct dialogue between the investigator and the information specialist. A third party should not be used to convey information.

Extractions: Top On this page I have grouped specifically Shakespearean search tools. There are some surprisingly good ones. I have provided an annotated section which describes them, followed by a "quick" table to the sites, for repeat visitors who do not wish to bother wading through the annotations. After the specifically Shakespearean sites, I have provided a guide to the more general best search tools on the web. Regarding these, I have grouped them into search engines and subject catalogs , though some sites are a mixture of both. A true search engine attempts to build indices to "all that is out there" via automated information gathering programs known as robots or spiders, and then lets you search the indices by keyword(s). The best allow sophisticated searching using booleans, proximity operators and logical groupings of search terms. The size and quality of the indices vary greatly, and a search on the same term(s) using different engines invariably returns different results. The best search engine by far is Google A second class of search tools is like a traditional library subject catalog
Searching For Our Primate Ancestors In China mammals, is responsible for the familiar glow in of higher primates I had been searchingfor. This alone contradicted most predictions concerning the earliest http://www.cruzio.com/~cscp/beard.htm
Extractions: By Chris Beard Toward the end of The Origin of Species , his landmark treatise that made the theory of evolution one of the most influential ideas in modern science, Charles Darwin wanted to give his concept a humanistic slant. Darwin knew that his new theory, which he had so elegantly supported using examples from Galapagos Islands finches, domestic animals and many more obscure representatives of the animal kingdom, applied equally to humans. His problem was to make this point without overly offending the entrenched cultural and religious beliefs of Victorian England. Darwin decided to approach the subject stealthilyhe simply noted that African apes, which were still only poorly known to Western science, suggested that the original cradle of humanity might well have been the African continent. Thus in one stroke, Darwin accurately anticipated later fossil discoveries, such as the Taung baby, Lucy, and other early hominids, which most scientists now agree pinpoint Africa as the ancestral homeland of humankind. Thanks to the work of noted paleoanthropologists such as Raymond Dart, Louis and Richard Leakey, and my former professor Alan Walker, we now know that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors that lived in Africa 5-10 million years ago. Transitional forms that document this evolutionary progression, known by such formidable scientific names as Ardipithecus ramidus, Australopithecus afarensis and Homo erectus, show that early human ancestors evolved the capacity to walk on two legs (bipedalism) millions of years before their brains grew larger than those of chimpanzees. Although many gaps remain, in the grand scheme of things we know how natural selection transformed our ape-like ancestors into the thoughtful beings we are today.
Locating Tax Authority: Boolean Searches Boolean Searches. Boolean is one form of keyword searching. As keywords.The most familiar and common connectors are AND and OR. http://www.gsu.edu/~accerl/home/BooleanSearches.html
Extractions: Connecting Words An effective and efficient Boolean search requires careful selection of keywords (as the prior lesson discussed) and the use of logical connectors between keywords. The most familiar and common connectors are AND and OR. (Here and elsewhere, I present connectors in all capital letters to emphasize that they are connectors. Most search engines do not require their entry in caps.) The more powerful Boolean search engines permit other connectors also. Using AND between keywords requires the system to retrieve all documents containing both keywords. If a document contains just one of the keywords connected with AND, the Boolean request will not retrieve it. The AND connector does not require keywords to be near each other, only that they appear in the same document. Thus, tax professionals should not use AND connectors when proximity is important and more powerful connectors (discussed later) are available. Overusing the AND connector tends to increase the number of irrelevant documents retrieved and, thus, results in inefficiencies. Strategy 1: Do not overuse AND connectors. When you expect proximity, select a more powerful connector.
