Rules

Rule # 3: Not Every Search Tool Is As Smart As Google - Not Even Google

  • Google seems to always give you what you want - or does it just convince you to want what it gives you?
  • Most other search tools (library catalogs, magazine databases, etc.) have no "smarts" behind the scenes, so you have to be the smart one - big responsibility.
  • Garbage in, garbage out!

Don't surrender control of all of your searches to the tool you are using - Fight Mind Control!
