Is the public Internet or even the invisible web the best source to answer this question? [keep in mind everything that's NOT on the net] Do they want a set of relevant pages or an answer to a specific question? Are they looking for a set of really good sites on a topic? Do they want a little information or a lot? Are they looking for a kind of home on the net, with lots of information on their personal interests and a community of people who share their interests? Go where it is: ask yourself who, logically, would collect and offer that sort of information. Remember, the net is also a delivery system for magazines, newspapers and even full-text books. Should they looking through a database of full-text magazine and journal articles instead of web sites? If they don't have access to your licensed databases, MagPortal and FindArticles.com are free article databases) Remember that the net is a communication system. Might they want to talk to, or listen to, human beings in news groups, bulletin boards, or "Aska" sites (Ask a Priest, Ask a Doctor, etc.)?

Extractions: Creating Your Own Web Tours It is easy to create your own Web Tours on any topic using search engines. Here’s how. Let’s say you want to create a listing of tutorials on learning search engines. Since most word processors allow you to save any page as a web page, you just need to type in a list of web addresses and save the list "as html" to create a web page! http://askjeeves.com and would enter the words for whatever you’re seeking like "search engines." If you include the quotes it will retrieve only web sites with the exact phrase " search engines." Without the quotes, all pages with the word "search" and all pages with the word "engine," will also be retrieved, which is not what you want. The more specific the phrases you put in quotes, the more specific your results will be! If you add AND tutorial* to your search phrase you’ll get a listing of only search engine tutorials. The * at the end of the word "tutorial" means it will retrieve pages with any letters attached to the word "tutorial," such as "tutorials". Many similar, and easy, ways of making your searches more specific are found by clicking on the HELP buttons present in all search engines. Take a few minutes to learn them by experimenting, and you’ll save hours of time! Use this method to find tutorials on anything you want to learn. Be sure to try this!

Extractions: Understanding how to perform sophisticated searches of online information will greatly increase your chances of finding what you want. While most search engines let you define your search criteria in very specific ways, not all function identically. If a search keyword is capitalized, the search engine will return only documents containing the capitalized word. For example, if you were interested in documents relating to the country of China, capitalizing the word and using an engine that supports capital sensitivity narrows down the number of results returned, eliminating documents that relate to china dishes or cookery. Note however, that in many instances it is better to leave keywords uncapitalized to allow the engine to return results that contain keywords in either form. When using search terms containing more than one word in a specific order, by enclosing the words in quotation marks, the engine returns only documents containing the exact phrase. Here's an example: When searching for information on gun control legislation, using "gun control" will eliminate those documents that contain the words

Extractions: CHICAGO(BUSINESS WIRE)Dec. 11, 2000 Logika Corporation, a leader in improving Internet-based information searches, today launched the first-search.com collection of topic-specific search engines (search portals), built on advanced technology that automatically assembles a comprehensive search index made up of Web-based information pertaining to the particular topic. Logika licenses the search portals to B2B marketplaces and other vertical portals (vortals) as a user-friendly and cost-effective way to deliver pertinent information to their publics. Whether members of a vortal belong to the same community or industry, or share similar demographics or psychographics, Logika can build a search portal for the group. ``The first 100 Logika search portals are available now, and the remaining 400 are scheduled to be ready for public use by the end of January. Even when all 500 search portals are complete, there will be countless more waiting to be built,'' said Matt Fordham, Logika CEO. ``First-search.com is a good tool to show what the Logika search portals can do, and while we expect to license the existing portals to a large customer base, we also expect these examples to attract customers that want a search portal built especially for their niche, whatever that may be.'' Search portal topics available on first-search.com span fourteen categories, and each category contains several specific search portals. For example, the Business category contains 32 search portals in and of itself. Visitors interested in business can choose to search within portals that contain only accounting, advertising, consulting, e-commerce, financial services, insurance, investing, marketing and many other types of information.

Extractions: Searching To find information about a specific topic you will need to use a Search Tool . Before you start searching it is wise to plan your search by clearly defining your keywords. You need to be specific rather than general or you'll be presented with a lot of irrelevant stuff. Search Tools include Subject Directories, Search Engines Hybrids and Metasearch Engines . Additionally there are tools which search a particular subject area or geographical region. Library Catalogues such as MLC's AIMS may index Internet sites. Subject Directories Subject Directories allow you to search for sites by browsing through lists of topics or categories. They are hierarchical. At the start there is a list of very general topics which branches off to more specific topics. These are usually maintained by people who filter and edit what is included. They produce fewer results, but the chances are sites will be well-established or popular. Some search the entire Web site, others only search through Web page titles. The Help screens indicate how pages are indexed. Subject Directories BUBL Yahoo Yahooligans Each Search Tool is somewhat different but with same basic features: Search Engines Search Engines find documents by matching your keywords. A computer (called spider or robot) searches the Internet for your keywords. As Search Engines index hundreds of thousands of Web sites so the chances are that you will get a list of thousands of Web sites that match your keywords. The matching sites will be listed in order of relevance so you are most likely to find what you need by visiting the sites listed in the top 1-20.

To help find information in this huge collection a variety of web sites have been created that act as starting points for your search. Specialized databases called search engines record web site and web page addresses and catalogue them according to criteria such as keywords in the title and main headings. Some search engines use people to gather and catalogue entries. Others use computer programs called web crawlers that search the internet for web pages and then determine keywords automatically. Portals are sites that are designed to a be a focus for a user's web activities.

Second Generation Searching On The Web When you are looking for a specific site or targeted topic and want natural languagesearch, truncation, case sensitivity and field searching; Ixquick sends http://library.albany.edu/internet/second.html
Extractions: Back to Internet Tutorials Second Generation Searching on the Web Updated: 14 April 2004 This tutorial covers some of the more innovative search engine services on the Web. It includes a group of search services that make use of technology that organizes search results by peer ranking, or clusters results by concept, site or domain. This is in contrast to the more long-standing method of term relevancy ranking. This newer type of ranking often looks at "off the page" information to determine the retrieval and order of your search results. Search engines that employ this alternative may be thought of as second generation search services. For example: Here are a few of the trends to watch with second-generation services: The human element: concept processing. Second generation services such as Ask Jeeves and SurfWax apply different kinds of concept processing to a search statement to determine the probable intent of a search. This is often accomplished by the use of human generated indexes. With these services, the burden of coming up with precise or extensive terminology is shifted from the user to the engine. These services are therefore taking on the role of thesauri.

Extractions: Finding Information on the Web Searching the Web There are many freely available sources of information on the Internet, and many avenues to find them, including search engines, subject directories, listservs, and newsgroups. In addition to these sources, there are many subscription- or purchase-only online resources. Wesleyan Library's list of Indexes and Databases are examples of research sources available only by subscription or purchase. These subscription resources, though they are available over the Web, are better considered as library resources, since they have been selected and purchased by the library. This tutorial covers searching the "free" Web; see the Research Skills Tutorial for using print and online library resources. When searching the free Web, it is important first to determine what specifically you are looking for, and then decide which of these avenues is best suited to your purposes: State your research topic in the form of a question; treat your research project as an attempt to find a specific answer for a specific question. Analyze your topic: List terms and ideas that describe your topic. List synonyms for those terms, along with broader and narrower topics, categories, and terms. List names (authors, organizations, etc), titles, abbreviations, and acronyms associated with your topic.
