Searching for information

Chris Nolan's presentation was very helpful, especially considering I'm currently starting a research paper for my seminar paper. The information provided on the online databases was really helpful, and I'm so glad he talked about "key word" search, because I've tried using that before and wondered why it wasn't really that helpful. I'm currently researching for my seminar, and I'm using all of his tips about using the online databases and how to use Google responsibly, finding only the stuff you actually needed and reliable. I was really surprised to find out that Google only ranks the sites based on links, so that weird/bad sites can be on the top ten page (the only page I really ever look at). I'm definitely going to start being more careful, but still use Google, to help me find out stuff for projects and papers.
