If you don't find what you're looking for in any of the sites above, try your 
own keyword search using the following tips...

 Internet Search Tips

  1. Type the URL (web site address) of a search directory/engine in the address box: ex: www.yahoo.com, or www.google.com, etc.
     
  2. (Be sure to type the address exactly the way you see it, including any uppercase letters and punctuation).
     
  3. Type in keyword(s). (If your keyword has two parts such as: "Great Britain", be sure to put quotes around it so that the search engine only finds the Internet sites about the Great Britain as opposed to all of the sites containing the word west plus all of the sites containing the word bank.
     
  4. If you would like to search for something specific about a the Great Britain, try a combined keyword search by adding a comma, followed by a space and you other search term.  For instance; if I wanted to find a national map, flag, anthem of the Great Britain, I would enter the following:
     

     "Great Britain", map, flag, anthem
     

  5. Hit Enter on your keyboard, or click on Search, then scan the description of the "hits" (entries) and click on the links that sound best.
     
  6. Be sure to critically evaluate Internet sources.  UC Berkley Library's Evaluating Webpages: Techniques to Apply and Questions to Ask is an excellent source to help you critique the quality of websites in the following areas:
  7. Remember: if you choose to use any information (text or graphics) found on the Internet, online databases, or print material, you must cite every resource you used.  Use the Works Cited Guide to access MLA format.
