Web search engines are a tool used to search for information on the World Wide Web. Information may consist of web pages, images and other types of files. Most search engines search these files for the keywords and phrases you enter as search terms and return to you a list of links that might answers your questions. In many cases the library staff can suggest a good website and save you the trouble of searching.

Searching the whole World Wide Web too broad for you? Try searching within specific newspapers or journals available through the Library's electronic resources.
