  • think of how you use a library. If you’re familiar with a subject it’s often
    more useful to browse in the section where books [on that] subject are
    shelved. Because of the way the library is organized, often using either the
    Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress Classification system, you know that all of
    the titles in the section are related, and serendipity often leads to unexpected
    discoveries that prove quite valuable.


    If you’re unfamiliar with a subject, however, browsing is both inefficient
    and potentially futile if you fail to locate the section of the library where
    the material you’re interested in is shelved. Searching, [with the aid
    of] specialized tools offered by a library’s catalog, is far more likely to
    provide satisfactory results.


    Using the web to find information has much in common with using the library.
    Sometimes browsing provides good results, while other information needs require
    nothing less than sophisticated, powerful searching to achieve the best
    results

    • Consider using the Directory instead of Google’s web search whenever you want
      to:


      • Familiarize yourself with a topic.
      • Get suggestions for ways to narrow your search.
      • Find ideas for query terms.
      • Figure out the scope of a given category, e.g., the number of newspapers in
        California.
      • View only pages that have been evaluated by a human editor.
