This presentation teaches effective internet research skills. It discusses different types of search engines such as regular engines like Google and Yahoo compared to metasearch engines that search multiple engines. It recommends advanced searches to narrow results and Boolean operators like AND and OR. Finally, it stresses the importance of properly citing internet sources in a bibliography with the author, title, URL, copyright date and date accessed.
Contextual search is a form of optimizing web-based search results based on context provided by the user and the computer being used to enter the query.Contextual search services differ from current search engines based on traditional information retrieval that return lists of documents based on their relevance to the query. Rather, contextual search attempts to increase the precision of results based on how valuable they are to individual users.

Money-Spinning Opportunity: Become an Internet Research Specialist
Earn Fabulous Income in Naira and Foreign Currencies Every Hour Doing Internet Research. No Experience Necessary! No Capital Required!!
Do you like to surf the Web?
Ever used Google?
Would you like to get paid just browsing the internet the way you are used to?
I'm talking about $50 or N5000 an hour at a minimum. It could be a great part-time way to make extra money. If you go full-time, you could make a very nice living -- more than some bankers do. And in either case, you don't have to worry about going to an office, a 9-to-5 schedule, or any of that corporate hassle.
You work where you want, with whom you want, when you want it.
The Internet provides a vast amount of information. If you can quickly and efficiently navigate through that wealth of information, and essentially find something useful, you can create a very successful business as an Internet researcher.
Let me give you some type of research businesses are looking for. This list is not all inclusive. But it should help to get your wheels turning to figure out how you want to position yourself in the research business.
What type of internet research can I do for companies and agencies?
Here is a list of examples:
Market Research
Keyword Research
Content/Information Research
Fact Checking
Background Checking
Competitive Analysis
Business Research
Product Research
Medical Research
Image/Audio research
Social Media Research
Many people assume that they have no marketable skills that other people would want to use, but in the vast majority of cases that simply isn’t true.
You might think that because you can’t write, you can’t make any money online or offline. Not true. Can’t design or draw anything either? Not a problem.
The solution for many people is to take on simple research jobs for other people who don’t have the time to do it themselves. The word ‘research’ tends to bring to mind stuffy libraries and reams of paperwork but that isn’t the case nowadays. Thanks to the internet. Research can be a quick and easy task, and the fact that some people still don’t have the time to do it themselves means big money making opportunities for you.
The great thing about offering up your skills as a researcher is that you don’t necessarily have to specialize in any one particular area. One client might need information on keywords that other websites use so they can determine how to structure their own site content. Someone else might want to get information about a particular subject so they can write a book about it.
As an Internet researcher you'll work with writers, marketers, authors, website owners, publishing companies and other businesses to find information they need for their blogs, websites, articles, books, e-books, products, special reports etc.

My notes from the day: https://gist.github.com/drjwbaker/7373223
At the School Library Journal
Leadership Summit 2011, Pew Internet Director Lee Rainie looked at the “state of reading” in the digital age by going through Pew Internet data about how teens use the internet, smartphones, and social networking sites. He argued that reading is now 1) raw material for further creation; 2) real-time in the mobile age; 3) a “social contact sport” as teens share reading and other media and learn from them.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Books/TextBooks/TextInternetInternet
•Anyone can publish a Web page
•No one checks to see if the
information is true or false
•There are millions of places to look
for information
•Using the Internet is much quicker
•You can narrow down what you’re
looking for more easily
•The Internet uses search engines
•Both provide sources
of information
•Both are viewed by
millions of people each
day
1. You’ve already compared and contrasted the Internet and
books or other texts with your class. Can you think of any
other ways they are different? The same?
•A book has to be published by a
publishing company
•Editors check and verify the
information
•Looking for a book can be more
time consuming
•You have to visit a library
•The library uses the Dewey
Decimal System
4. Effective Internet Research
When might using the Internet be
better than using a traditional text?
•Topics that are contemporary (modern topics) – The
Internet has more up-to-date information on current events.
•Topics that are controversial – The Internet can give you a
lot of different opinions on one topic. It can help you
research a topic from different perspectives.

Different Types of Search EnginesDifferent Types of Search Engines
A Search Engine is a program that allows you to search the Internet for
information. There are many search engines on the World Wide Web.
You might have heard of search engines like Google, Yahoo!, or Bing. These
are very popular search engines.
There are lots of other excellent search engines on the Internet that you may
never have heard of!
Let’s look at the different types of search engines available on the Internet.
7. Effective Internet Research
Different Types of Search EnginesDifferent Types of Search Engines
Regular Search Engines vs. Metasearch Engines
A regular search engine, like Google, Yahoo!, or Bing
searches the Internet based on a given search term.
For example, typing “The Great Depression” into
Google will give you 113,000,000 “hits” or sites to visit
for information.
Type the same term into Bing and you come up with
38,300,000 hits.
2. TRY IT: Go to Google (www.google.com) and type in
“President Herbert Hoover” Look at the sites that come up.
Click on the first two or three sites. Do they look like they
have good information? Now do the same in Yahoo! (
www.yahoo.com). What differences do you notice?
8. Effective Internet Research
Different Types of Search EnginesDifferent Types of Search Engines
Why do Google and Yahoo! display different sites for
the same word?
This is because of the way the engine searches!
Google and Yahoo! use different search methods. While
many of the sites they show you are the same, some are
different.
A Metasearch can streamline your search.
A Metasearch has the ability to search several search engines.
9. Effective Internet Research
Different Types of Search EnginesDifferent Types of Search Engines
Let’s try using a metasearch engine to search
information on “President Herbert Hoover”
Kartoo, (www.kartoo.com) is a metasearch engine that
will search many of the most popular search engines all
at once!
3. TRY IT: Go to www.kartoo.com and type in “President
Herbert Hoover”.
Scan the sites listed and look for sites that seem like they
offer good information.
How might a metasearch engine like Kartoo be more helpful
than a regular search engine?
10. Effective Internet Research
Different Types of Search EnginesDifferent Types of Search Engines
There are other different types of search engines
as well. Let’s look at three more search engines
that can help you get better information about
your topic.
Duck Duck Go (www.duckduckgo.com) is a search
engine that offers prompts to help clarify what you are
really searching for
4. TRY IT: Go to www.duckduckgo.com and type in
“President Herbert Hoover”.
Notice at the top of the page, there is a link that suggests
other topics of interest. On the right, there are other
suggested sites for researching your topic. List some sites
you would want to try after visiting this site.
11. Effective Internet Research
Different Types of Search EnginesDifferent Types of Search Engines
Ask (www.ask.com) is a search engine that allows you
to type in a question rather than a search term. For
example, if you wanted to know if Herbert Hoover was
responsible for the Great Depression, you could ask a
specific question and get more detailed information.
5. TRY IT: Go to www.ask.com and type in “Was Herbert
Hoover responsible for the Great Depression?”
How does the information you get differ from the
information you got on other search engines? What else do
you notice on the right hand side? How might this help you
as well?

2. How to Search on the Internet2. How to Search on the Internet
Now that we have looked at different types of
search engines, we need to learn how to
make the most of your search!
Most search engines have something called an
Advanced Search. An advanced search allows you
to be more specific about what type of information
you are looking for.
When you visit a search engine, the Advanced
Search page is a great place to start!
16. Effective Internet Research
7. TRY IT: Go to www.google.com and type in “President
Herbert Hoover”
You will see that there are over 2 million results. To narrow
those results, click on the settings icon and select
Advanced Settings. You will be able to choose exactly the
words or phrases you are looking for and be able exclude
words you are not. Since you are looking for information
about the President, you can exclude words such as HOTEL,
or LIBRARY by putting them in the none of these words box
with a minus sign.
-Also, you can narrow your search by selecting only the
most recently updated websites. Select PAST YEAR then
select ADVANCED SEARCH.
What do you notice about your search results?

“Smarter” searching on the Internet
Most Internet search engines also allow you to use a set
of words or symbols to narrow your search.
AND – use this word when you want to find two words
together. For example “Herbert Hoover AND Republican”
OR – use this when you can accept a couple of words. For
example, “Herbert Hoover OR Republican Presidents”
- (minus sign) – use this symbol when you want to exclude
a word. For example, “Herbert Hoover-hotel”
“quotations” – use quotation marks when you are searching
for an exact phrase. For example, if you were searching for
a book title, you could type “Herbert Hoover during the
Depression” in quotations and the search engine will look
for that exact phrase.

Citing Your Sources
Citing your sources means telling people where you got your
information. Just as you list books and encyclopedias in your
bibliography, you must also include the sources of information you
got from the Internet.
Citing your sources is important because it shows others how to find the
same information you found.
To cite a source on the Internet, you need to have a written record
of the following information for each website that you actually use
in your report or essay:
The name of the site and the author (Who made the website?
A company? An organization? An individual?)
What day you found the information
The web address or URL
The copyright date for the website (usually found at the bottom
of the homepage)
