At Moraine Valley Community College, we offer a number of student labs in which one can access the Internet. These labs are free to any registered student with a current Moraine Valley Community College identification card. In addition, the Learning Resources Center offers a small number of Internet workshops to registered students in which one can learn the basics of the Internet. Included as an appendix to this webliography is an overview of the necessary elements needed to access the Internet from home. In order to find sites on the World Wide Web, one must have a strong knowledge of how search engines operate.
Internet search engines all work differently from one another.
Due to the enormity of the World Wide Web, no single search engine searches the entire entity. As a result, one might have to go to a number of different search engines and perform the same search in each one to get an adequate amount of information on a given subject. To familiarize one with the search process, this webliography contains an overview of the main types of search engines and brief explanation about how a search engine works. Learning to navigate the Internet takes practice. There are many valuable resources out in cyberspace, but one must have the patience and skills of a detective.
