Module 4 - Organising search info.

Well, the first thing I have had to do for this task was some basic file management as my NET11 area had got huge and unwieldy - I've been caught like this before and should do it at the start of something I know is going to be huge, not half way through. Still, it's looking better now.

Saving
I have saved each webpage in a multi-tiered folder under:
BTeach - Net11 - Module 4 - Mod. 4 tasks Organising search info
and named it specifically e.g. Resource 1 is 'sydney uni library internet tutes'.
I saved these pages as a hyperlinks on this blog post, and on my computer as outlined above, using 'save as' a whole web page.

The plan is to record here the information from three sources from previous search task.

Resource 1
http://www.library.usyd.edu.au/skills/isearch.html
University of Sydney Library - Searching the Internet. This page contains a brief summary of, and a hyperlinked heading to more information on, the following subjects: Search Engines, Subject Directories, Library Subject Guides, Meta Search Engines, Email Discussion and Newsgroups, Finding People. No individual author name is given.

Resource 2
http://www.library.auckland.ac.nz/instruct/sengines.htm
University of Auckland Library - Information Skills, Searching the Internet. This page contains hyperlinks to topics including Search engines, Meta search engines, Subject directories, Search tips and techniques, Narrowing your search and Specific search engines.

Resource 3
http://www.library.utoronto.ca/library/services/ilu/advanced.html
University of Toronto Libraries - Library and Internet Skills. The page contains hyperlinks to topics such as Advanced search strategies, Searching by author, Choosing keywords, Boolean searching, Truncation, Fields and many others.
