Did you know that if rather than using Google (great as it is) to find, say, the current wholesale price of a given used car, you used a specialized search engine instead, you could end up with a few relevant results rather than hundreds of potentially useful ones? Or that simply by choosing the correct keyword, you could improve your search results exponentially? If you're like most people, you probably know you could be searching more effectively; this volume actually shows you how! After providing a thorough grounding in search basics-keyword usage, wildcards, and more-author Diane Poremsky moves on to the biggies, Goggle and Yahoo, showing you how to make the most out of their differing approaches. You'll also learn about Boolean stars Alta Vista and Hot Bot before the authors launch into an extensive discussion of specialized search engines. Step-by-step instructions and loads of visual aids make learning a snap with this essential guide.

    Multitasking teens can talk on their cell phones while instant messaging, then toggle between discussion board, blog, and e-mail account, possibly collaborate on a project, or more likely "chat" with friends. If technology is ever-present for this "wireless" generation, what is the best way to share lessons about online content, behavior, and ethics with these digital natives? Recognizing that teens are still teens, author and educator Jacobson draws together tools for reflection, along with the latest research and practical solutions. In this authoritative guide, she helps library colleagues understand and address the issues relating to youth and technology, answering these key questions: How can you instill appropriate values in teens as they travel an ambiguous and ever-changing cyber-landscape? Why must teens make responsible, ethical decisions based on their own critical evaluation of sources? How do you deal with hacking, cheating, privacy, harassment, and access to inappropriate content? What are Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and how can libraries incorporate them into new policies for teen-friendly tech spaces? Presenting thoughtful and common-sense solutions for high school, middle school, and public youth librarians, I Found It on the Internet is a proactive guide that addresses challenging technological issues facing teens and the librarians who serve them....
