Google smarter. Search engines like Google or Yahoo are a great place to start. But if you want information about “democracy” do you really need 131,000,000 results? ❏ Use Google’s Advanced Search. Limit your search by domain (for example, .edu, .org, .gov, or .com). You can also search by region, format, or date (how recent the page is). ❏ Specify search results from a given website. architecture site: umd.edu searches for “architecture” only on the University of Maryland website. ❏ Put quotation marks around words you don’t want separated, which works especially well with proper nouns, as with “Jim Henson.”
