Search Faster, Search Smarter: Using Google products to quickly locate and or...mollyjschoen
Learn how to more efficiently use Google products (Chrome, Gmail, Drive, etc.) Topics include: keyboard shortcuts, search tips, search operators, reverse image searching, searching from the address bar, Chrome extensions, Gmail search tips, Gmail settings and labs, and Drive search tips.
Just like any tool, the usefulness of Google is determined by the skill of the user. While library databases are ideal for research, it’s important for
researchers to understand how to properly use those resources that they will have access to after
leaving the University setting. This session will teach you tricks to enhance your Google skills,
including Google Scholar, and skills that transfer to other search engines.
