We'll work with the ISU Homepage and then learn how to use the library computer network to find books and articles. A browser is a program used to view and look through information on the Internet. A directory is used to search for information from huge databases of webpages. A directory lists information by category. You choose the general category that you want and continue looking through the levels to find more specific categories.
Search engines are different from browsers and directories.
Search engines are programs that run a search for you while you are waiting for the results. Hotbot is another search engine that may be useful to you. Webcrawler is an extremely powerful search engine, especially useful for doing any kind of research. Finally, you will make a list of websites that might be useful to you in your real future research. Reflective Learning One important aspect of learning is reflection.
