HSLS Search Engine Guide

Tips for Savvy Searching

Google is the search engine of choice for most Web searchers these days, but a large number of other choices are available. To help our library patrons choose and use search engines effectively, HSLS maintains a search engines guides, <www.hsls.pitt.edu/guides/general/search_engines.html>.

The guide has three main sections. The first describes what search engines are and how they work. It includes general searching tips that apply to most search engines. The second section includes links to recommended search engines and highlights some of their features. Finally, because search engines change constantly, there is a section linking to search engine news, ratings, and tutorials.
