Google 101

During Google 101 I learned about the tilda symbol ~, and how that can be used to help you search for related terms. I also learned to use the plus sign instead of and when searching for things.
It also taught me more about how to narrow down results in google. I didn't know much about that before, but I feel like those options are less extensive and helpful than the narrowing options in ASP or other library search websites.
For the future doing reserach projects I plan to try to use google scholar more. It's a great easy way to find scholarly articles if you are having a hard time finding one through the library website. I would also like to use the tilda when I have issues finding things with my search term.

  1. Thank you for your post, Kristy. If you have had any trouble looking for scholarly articles or other resources for your project, see if you can find them now using Google and the Google tricks. Let me know if it helped!

    Sincerely,
