Here's the Plan.

We will step through a try-out of several search engines, then give you some time to experiment, then step through a try-out of some of the other search tools that exist. We will talk about techniques and usage as we go along. The goal is to prepare you develop a search strategy that matches your needs.

Hands-on Examples.

• Internet search engines starting point on UNHINFO. [handout]

• Inktomi Ultraseek. for campus Intranet.

• Yahoo.

• Google.

• AltaVista.
