 Internet Search Tips

  1. Type the URL (web site address) of a ssaearch 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: "modern art", be sure to put quotes around it so that the search engine only finds the Internet sites on old English as opposed to all of the sites containing the word modern plus all of the sites containing the word art.
     

  4. If you would like to search for something specific about modern art, try a combined keyword search by adding a comma followed by a space and your other search term. For instance; if I wanted to find out about the sculptors of modern art and their works,  I would enter the following:

    "modern art", sculptors, works

    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.
     

  5. Be sure to evaluate each Internet site for the following:

     

  6. Remember: if you choose to use any information (text or graphics) found on an Internet source, 
    you must include it in your bibliography.

Remember:  YOU MUST CITE EVERY RESOURCE YOU USED to gather information on your 
Works Cited (Bibliography) page.  Use the Works Cited Guide to access MLA format.
