FAVORITE SEARCH ENGINES

We have our favorite search engines, and we know you do, too. But did you know that not all search engines are the same? Search engines like Google, Ask, Yahoo!, and AlltheWeb search different sets of information, and retrieve different results. Metasearch engines search several other search engines at once. Specialized search engines search subsets of information, like government publications. There are even search engines that you can use to find scholarly materials and digitized historical photos.

Next time you need to search the 'net effectively, try some of the search engines on our web page. From the library's home page, click on Quick Reference, then select Searching the Web. Happy searching, and remember: If you ever need a refresher in effective Internet searching, come by the Reference Desk on the 2nd floor.
