Google Scholar

In Tuesday's computer class, we were visited by Mr. Nolan. He talked to us about Search Engines, and researching techniques. The most useful thing I found out about was Google Scholar. Google Scholar is a valuable tool for finding scholarly articles. Since Mr. Nolan's talk, I have already used the search engine twice for various research papers. The most surprising thing I learned about was how many criteria Google uses when organizing results from a search. Additionally, I learned that one should carefully evaluate every site they look at. Not all websites are trustworthy, as we saw in Mr. Nolan's activity.
