This is a 1-1/2 hour class on how to effectively use Internet Search Engines other than Google to locate information.

However, there are a number of other useful search engines out there that possess features and capabilities such as Result Clustering and Expert Referrals that Google does not offer to its users. This class will compare and contrast the variety of Internet search sites out there and will provide hands-on exposure to these resources.
