The student pairs then enter this search into their respective Internet search engines. Discuss the results with the class. You may want to draw a chart on the board with Northern Light in one column and Google in the other. This should be posted at the top of the list. Have the students take a look at the first 5 hits of their search.
Students can then search for Web pages to use with their particular research topic.
Ask the students to jot down their search strategies and any comments or questions they have. Next, have the librarian build on the students' own searches and questions in a workshop on building effective search strategies in Internet search engines. Twin Cities . University Libraries .
