Here is a pretty basic but very important search tip I want to bring to your attention today. Some of you might already be using it but I want you to share it with your students and help them search for information more efficiently. Using this search hack, students will be able to quickly find anything on a document, email or a webpage. This search tip involves the use of two keyboard buttons to bring up a small search box that will allow you to look for anything on the page you are on. Via Elizabeth E Charles

The Google alternatives workshop is a regular on the UKeiG training calendar. We don’t guarantee that you will be weaned off Google by the end of the day but we do try and highlight other search engines and tools that might be better for certain types of information. At the end of the workshops the participants pull together a list of Top Tips. These could be a tool or website they have just discovered, a search command, or a general approach or strategy to searching. The tips below are a combined list from two workshops attended by people from all sectors and types of company, and even included a couple of self-employed researchers. The sessions covered both general search tools and specialist services, and the Top Tips is an interesting mix of strategy and specific sites. Via Elizabeth E Charles

Students often think that because they can type a phrase into Google or saying something aloud to Siri they know how to search. Of course, any teacher who has heard a student say "Google has nothing on this" or "there's no information about my topic" knows that students don't inherently know how to search despite growing up in a world filled with Google and Siri. When your students need help formulating or refining a search, have them review the following ten tip. Better yet, have them review these tips before starting their next searches.

The trouble with something so familiar as the Google search engine is the iceberg principle. You only use the bit you can see, the obvious 10% of the capacity. Once you confine yourself like that, then the results you’ll be getting will be similarly restricted. If you know what you’re doing though, you’ll find what you really need, rather than something that’s been better search-optimised, and you’ll find it quicker. Via Elizabeth E Charles

In my previous post I shared that I like to have students create a list of things they know before they start to search. Once they move on to Googling things another common bad habit often rears its head. Via Elizabeth E Charles
