About This Tutorial | Table of Contents | Handouts | Glossary

This tutorial presents the substance of the web searching workshop (current schedule) offered by the Teaching Library at the University of California at Berkeley. The content on this site has been updated to reflect the latest trends in search engines, directories, and evaluating web pages. We call the workshop "Research-quality Web Searching" to reflect our belief that there is a lot of great material on the Web - primary sources, specialized directories and databases, statistical information, educational sites on many levels, policy, opinion of all kinds, and so much more - and tools for finding it are steadily improving.

Recommended Search Strategy:   Analyze Your Topic & Search With Peripheral Vision

Search Tools:

Evaluating Web Pages: Why and How and evaluation checklist forms (PDFs)

Style Sheets for Citing Resources (Print & Electronic) (MLA, APA, Chicago/Turabian)
