Chris Nolan's Web Advice

I learned some really cool and interesting things about search engines and websites during the talk given by Chris Nolan. Some of my favorite aspects included the way you can narrow your search using google advance, I had no idea you could set so many search constraints to your choosing! I also enjoyed how we learned to set those constraints without even clicking advanced search. I was initially unfamiliar with the "I'm feeling lucky" button and the cache link beneath most search results, I'm glad I understand now what they're for so I can take advantage of what they have to offer. Another cool topic we learned about in class was google scholar, which is something I had heard of but had no idea how to use it or how it worked. I can now see how google can actually be a useful tool in an academic setting- which I had never considered before- and plan on using it's resources in the future. Who would have thought you could find a research paper from Princeton on google! Overall I feel very informed now about ways to find accurate information online and better prepared to use the Internet and search engines as tools to help me with my academic career.
