Beyond Google - Improve Your Search Results | Free Technology for Teachers
"While working with some of my colleagues in a workshop earlier this week, I was reminded that a lot of people aren't familiar with tools and strategies for refining Internet search results. In response to that experience, I sat down this morning and created this short guide to 15 tools and strategies for helping your students (and your colleagues) improve their Internet search results. I've embedded the guide below in two different forms which you can download for free."
Schoolr.com
Schoolr is the only academic resource you'll need : Google, Dictionary.com,Thesaurus.com, Wikipedia, Acronym Finder, NCSU, unitconversion, Bablefish, and Wolfram-Alpha.
EBSCOhost: Basic Search
EBSCOhost is a powerful online reference system accessible via the Internet. It offers a variety of proprietary full text databases and popular databases from leading information providers. The comprehensive databases range from general reference collections to specially designed, subject-specific databases for public, academic, medical, corporate and school libraries.
Péter's PolySearch Engines
"These PolySearch Engines allow you to run simple queries across several open access ready reference databases or publishers’ abstract archives in one fell swoop. This is especially convenient for corroborating information in different dictionaries, and encyclopedias, and for comprehensive literature searches. Results are shown simultaneously from the sites in adjacent panes. The original query brings to you each selected target sites (instead of merging their results), so if you want to broaden or narrow the search, you can refine the simple query using truncation symbols, Boolean and proximity operators, field limiters – whatever is allowed by the native search engine of each site. It is not perfect, but better than to hop from site to site, drill down to the search template, and type in the query time and again."
