The «Searching Successfully» guide from the SchoolNetGuide series shows you how to find high-quality information quickly in the information age. When is it better to do research in the library, when is it more efficient to use the Internet?

In the chapter «Where to Search», relevant websites, search engines and web directories are introduced and the advantages that expert and knowledge networks offer are discussed.

In the chapter «How to Search», the brochure shows you how to improve the quality of the hits you get and how you can use search engines to perform targeted searches. To do this, the SchoolNetGuide describes how the search results are analysed and evaluated and how they can be used to find what you need. On the WWW in particular, it is essential to define a clear framework otherwise the search can quickly descend into endless surfing.

There is a sample lesson provided for each chapter that shows how the topic could be addressed in school.
