Use these tools to search the Web for information, or browse some directories that categorize the Web by topic. Since each search tool will most likely yield different results, try a couple of them out. If you've never used a search engine before, you might want to go through our explanations and tutorials about search engines, or try some additional tutorials at Search Engine Watch. There's also a great interactive tutorial on being an Internet detective that you might like to try.

This tutorial presents the substance of the Internet Workshops offered year-round by the Teaching Library at the University of California at Berkeley. The content on this site has been updated to reflect the latest trends in search engines, directories, and evaluating web pages. We call the course "Research Quality Web Searching" to reflect our belief that there is a lot of great material on the Web - primary sources, specialized directories and databases, statistical information, educational sites on many levels, policy, opinion of all kinds, and so much more - and we have better tools for finding this great stuff.

The Internet is a terrific resource. It contains hundreds of web sites dedicated to thousands of topics. With so many sites, it is easy to get lost. Knowing the types of search tools available and mastering some general search tips can make your search more profitable.
Use caution when searching the web, though. Anybody with access to the Internet can post web sites about topics that interest them. These sites are not always accurate. Therefore, it also is a good idea to learn how to evaluate web sites. The Purdue University Library system's Core+ Tutorial provides helpful guidelines for evaluating sources. Purdue's OWL has a mini-tutorial on evaluating sources that includes evaluating Internet sources. There's also a great interactive tutorial on being an Internet detective on another site that you can visit if you want to work more on evaluating Internet sources.
