program calendars good reads for kids ask a librarian about almost anything Tips for Searching the Internet The Internet is a bit like a giant shoe store filled with millions of shoes: there’s so much to choose from, but you have to do some searching to find what you’re looking for. And – just like in the shoe store – once you find something that might be exactly what you want, you have to “try it on” to see if it “fits.” The Internet works the same way: you can search for and find many websites with a lot of information, but you have to read through the information to see if it fits your assignment. General Search Tips Using UPPER CASE (capital) and lower case (small) letters Some search tools can tell if you are using upper case or lower case letters. If you search using only UPPER CASE letters, some search tools will only find words that use only upper case letters. If you search using both Upper Case and lower case letter, some search tools will only find words that use both upper and lower case letters. If you search using only lower case letters, all search tools will find words that use UPPER or lower case letters. TIP: If you want to find more search results, use only lower case letters. If you want to limit your search results, use both upper and lower case letters.

This article is also available PDF format, with illustrations. Savvy Searching by Anne Collier Whether your child is five or fifteen, chances are he or she will eventually turn to the Internet for information. After all, it's a gold mine a bottomless treasure chest of facts, figures, news, games, trivia, homework help and more. But just as your kids develop "book smarts" and "street smarts", they'll need to acquire "search smarts" the tricks of safe, constructive and efficient searching. Here are some tips, along with recommendations on top-notch kids' search-engines. The Nitty-Gritty on Search-Engines To be Search-Savvy, you need to know which search-engines are best. Here's a comparison of seven kid-focused search-engines. Our research was conducted using real kids' queries, for instance, several of our testers were researching reports, one on Native Americans, another on black-footed ferrets. We also searched on kids' areas of interest, like Britney Spears and Pokemon. To explore each site's "safety", we searched on words like "sex". On a sad note: In years past, one of our favorite kids' search engines was Searchopolis. As of August, 2001, N2H2, the parent company behind Searchopolis, no longer offers this engine.

Search this site! Filling online-safety gaps at home (October 19, '01 issue) When we interviewed Nick and his mom for last week's issue , Leonor asked us what online-safety software we'd recommend. Here's our one-size-fits-all answer, which has to be very basic and generic because there are as many "right" solutions as there are families. Ideally, we'd all discuss this together so we could consider different scenarios - for example, Nick and Leonor's and then Candy's more challenging one (with a proactively curious, technically sophisticated teenager at her house). But since it'd be tough to get you all in one room, let's start a virtual discussion here. Then you email us what works for your family, and we will gladly keep the conversation going! Basically, we think the very basic priority list for working out the best home online-safety formula should look like this: People Software In other words, rules and/or family acceptable-use policies/contracts come first and are best hammered out by kids and parents together (see links below for samples). That said, we are not big fans of filtering software by itself - because kids can disable it, it can block out useful content, and blocking criteria are based on a software company's values, not your family's). But using some *forms* of filtering with some other aids can be quite effective for families that need them, e.g.:

Search this site! A 10-year-old pundit on Internet use (October 12, '01 issue) Every now and then we profile a Net-literate family in this newsletter because the online-safety expertise of parents and kids hammering out family Internet rules together is often the best there is. Besides, one great kid's perspective is just the breath of fresh air we can all use these days! This week we talked with Nick, a very bright 10-year-old, and his mom, Leonor, in Utah, one of the westernmost Rocky Mountain states. Nick is the middle of three kids at their house - two Internet users and a three-year-old. He and his 12-year-old sister share one of the family's two connected computers, the one that shares a line with the family fax machine. There's also the regular phone line and a cable-modem-connected computer "strictly for business" in Leonor's office. We asked Leonor if the family has Internet-use rules, and she said, "We have lots of rules," adding that she never was crazy about the Internet "because of some of the things I've seen on it." So she worked these out before the children got their own connection last spring:

Develped at Carnegie Mellon University, it is one of the oldest search engines, having been on-line since May 1994. In 1998 Lycos bought Tripod, the free webpage provider. Since April 1999 (when it surpassed Yahoo as most visited portal) its directory has been provided by Open Directory. They bought Hotbot in June 1999. In January 2000 it ditched its index and replaced it with Fast. Consequently it has become an amalgamation of sourced content, as opposed to its original innovations.

References last updated: 6/28/00 Searching Skills Three ways to find information: 1. Indexes A few locations on the Web specialize in indexing Web pages. These sites go out and search millions of pages on the Web from time-to-time and store the results in a searchable database. The search usually includes a document's Title, Main header, first few text lines, and sometimes author or server location information. Some sites do a more thorough search than others resulting in a more useful database. Given the dynamic nature of the Web and its vast size, the frequency that the database is re-indexed is critical to how useful the site will be. Good sites are very busy. Example: Searchopolis.

Other Resources Virtual Libraries Virtual Libraries are similar to directories. Typically, they are resource lists which are organized similar to a library card catalog. Sites are usually chosen based on evaluations from subject area specialists. Because of this, these sites tend to be smaller than web directories. Examples of Virtual Libraries include: Internet Public Library World Wide Web Virtual Library WWW Virtual Libary: US Government Information Sources Charles Sturt University - Education Virtual Library ... Back to top Web directories These are lists of Internet sites/resources which are set up in a hierarchy of directories and subdirectories. A person can browse through the directories to find what they are looking for, or search using an accompanying search tool. At some point a person had to decide what the categories would be in these directories and where sites would fit or not fit within that organization. Some of the more commonly used directories include: Yahoo Librarian's Index to the Internet Search.com
