During the lectures I often noted how useful google can be to find academic research. We talked about using google scholar and the advanced search function. With that in mind, I'm sure you'll appreciate this infographic from Jenica Rhee.

I knew about some of Google's functions already but I didn't know how much it could do! Thanks for putting this up. The information is given in a really interesting way.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! I use Google all the time for my research for papers and I thought it worked pretty well. But I never knew about the way to specify the search. That would help a great deal. I will have to pass this info on to my younger brother who is just starting university, because unfortunately I don't have any research left to do for school. However, being a student of science, I plan to get some sort of job that will most likely require me to do research at some point or another. Not to mention, this will assist me in finding things just for my own interest.
ReplyDeleteWow, I found this very informative. I will definitely try to incorporate more of these 'tricks' to effectively search Google. It is a lifetime skill that I will master by the end of our semester! This will really make searches much more specific and give me the answers I am looking for.
ReplyDeleteI found this to be very informative! While I did know some of these search tricks, I was not aware that you could refine your search to specify the file types that you search for or the authors of certain papers. This information will be very useful for me in future research projects.
ReplyDeleteI thought I knew how to use Google fairly well, but! I definitely thought wrong. This poster was very informative and now I have even a greater appreciation for Google and its internal design. I will definitely be utilizing some of these tricks!
ReplyDeletei agree with everyone about how informative this information is to us students. I use Google all the time as a search tool, but i was not aware of these tricks, and how one can use it to effectively search google. This information has thought me a lot and i will definitely use it in the future. Thanks again for posting this information.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this information! I find this type of information really helpful, and know that I will be able to utilize what I've learned here in my other classes (just like with RefWorks!).These 'tricks' to using Google will help future research projects.
ReplyDeleteThese google tips are a very helpful tool for class work. I already used google scholar for my science article assignment to see how many times my selected articles have been cited. Before I read this I thought I was a google pro, I now have much to learn!
ReplyDeleteI found the keyboard shortcuts really helpful, I knew about some of them but selecting the address bar and cycling through apps and windows was new to me. Also, I have always wondered how to search on Google more efficiently and for really specific topics, now I know how. This will save me a lot of frustration in the future when Googleling!
ReplyDeleteI never thought that there are so many things to learn about googling. The thing about using "operators" to search for information is so useful and easy to learn. Also, the keyboard shortcuts are very intersting. I think I can google for information more efficiently in future. Thank you Jess for sharing so many useful things on class blog!
ReplyDeleteI was not aware of all these shortcuts to use on google. Using these tricks would be very helpful to define a search to find only the websites relevant to the information you are seeking. I must admit that I am guilty of sometimes 'asking google questions'. I think that if I ask a question it will find the response I am looking for, I realize that this is not the case.
ReplyDeleteThanks for tips to have a successful Google search.
This is incredibly useful information. I can't believe I didn't know half of this stuff! Performing searches on Google is going to be faster than ever; although it might take me a few times to get the "code" right. The other little tricks like definitions and unit conversions will be so handy. As well, I was apart of the 90% that was unaware of the 'Command' function...now I am apart of the 10%. Thanks again for these informative posts!!
