HELPFUL SEARCH ENGINES

Keep Good Searches from Going Bad

Use these search engines to use the Internet effectively:

Sweet Search:

This “Search Engine for Students” searches only the 35,000 Web sites that their staff of research experts, librarians and teachers have evaluated and approved when creating the content on findingDulcinea (an Internet or Virtual Librarian).

iSeek:

iSeek is a great search engine for students, teachers and administrators. Simply ask a question or enter search topics or tools and iSEEK will pull from scholastic sources to find exactly what you are looking for. The search engine is safe, intelligent and time–saving—and it draws from trusted resources from universities, government and established non–commercial sites.

Virtual Learning Resources Center:

VLRC is an online index that hosts thousands of scholarly websites, all of which are selected by teachers and librarians from around the globe. The site provides students and teachers with current, valid information for school and university academic projects using an index of more than 10,000 web pages gathered from research portals, universities and library Internet subject guides recommended by teachers and librarians.

Google Advanced Search:

Click on the link above OR after searching a term and receiving the results, scroll down to the bottom of the results page and click on “Advanced Search”. You can search by domain (such as .edu), search by file type (such as PDF) or find materials on a specific reading level.

Google Scholar:

Powered by Google, this search engine makes it easy to find papers, abstracts, citations and other scholarly literature.

Dogpile:

Dogpile searches other search engines, such as Google, Yahoo!, Bing and Ask, to bring you the best of the web in one handy results list. You can also feel good about using Dogpile because the site donates portions of its revenue to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA.)
