Search tips
 * Tips I teach to students:**
 * For word definitions use define:(the word you wish to have explained) **define:pervasive**
 * Use domain names to narrow your search for example **site:org site:edu site:cn** (for China) Country codes - [|link]
 * Use the tilde (~) to search for similar terms **~child** will return results with children, baby, kids etc.
 * Search for both a topic and a type of information: map, chart, graph, statistics, FAQs, tutorials, primary source documents, glossary, news, tutorial, laws, issues, pros/cons, etc.
 * Phrase search using quotation marks “ozone layer depletion”

Evaluating Results - Tips For more resources see the Web in the Classroom Book and the supporting wiki - link
 * Watch out for the tilde in a URL. It means that this is a personal web page, although it may be hosted by an organization or university.
 * Look at the domain names, for example .com may indicate a commercial site.
