Search the Internet
En Espanol
For Our Future Students
There are many different ways to search for information on the World
Wide Web (WWW). It's important to understand, however, that the WWW is
not a single database. It is a combination of many databases,
electronic discussions, journals, magazines, texts, personal and
commercial web pages and more. Searching the Web is more complicated
than searching an index at the Library.
However, the WWW does provide some unique and fascinating
information and can be very useful for research. The resources you will
find come from all over the world. Due to the vast number of resources
and the lack of a central organizing or controlling entity, there is
not one way to search the WWW which will guarantee your results.
Instead there are numerous ways to search the WWW which will all yield
different results. It will take time to become familiar with the
various ways of searching the WWW and it will take time to evaluate the
information you find.
