Harnessing the power of Google : what every researcher should know / Christopher C. Brown. by Brown, Christopher C., author. Santa Barbara, California : Libraries Unlimited, an imprint of ABC-CLIO, LLC, [2017] Description:  xiv, 134 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm Contents:  Searching generally -- How Google works -- Searching Google Web -- Power searching for primary sources using Google Web -- Google Scholar and scholarly content -- Google Books -- Google as complement to library tools -- Academic research hacks -- Case studies in academic research -- Searching for statistics. Summary:  "Harnessing the Power of Google: What Every Researcher Should Know offers simple strategies that streamline research and improve anyone's search results. It will specifically benefit information professionals, students, and academic researchers in disciplines like international studies, political science, and statistical research. Illustrated with helpful screen shots, this handbook will be an often-consulted desk reference and can serve as a workshop guide or supplementary reading in courses on online research skills. The book starts with a review of general guidelines for searching that covers topics like the difference between primary and secondary sources, determining authority, citing sources, indexing, and ranking before addressing Google's power-searching features, such as the ability to search by top-level Internet domain or file type. The book describes the history of information access over the past century, culminating in today's digital information archives and how Google now augments--not replaces--what libraries provide. The three Google interfaces that together comprise a powerful toolkit are covered in detail: Google Web for finding primary source materials; Google Scholar for full text searching of scholarly, peer-reviewed material; and Google Books for searching the full text of a very high percentage of books."--Publisher's website.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Calmar Campus Library Circulation Stacks (Calmar) 025.04252 Bro 2017 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
