Chris Nolan Blog

In class on Wednesday, a man by the name of Chris Nolan came in and taught our class how to research topics using public search engines such as Google. I learned that by using a database you can find out more information than using a search engine. Becuase most databases are websites, a search engine may not pick up on them, yet they often have ten to fifteen times more information than websites. Through his speaking, I was surprised to hear that there are invisible or deep websites. These are sites that the search engine you are using might not pick up on but can be incredibly helpful to writing a good paper. I will be using most likely be using databases that the school website offers for research on my next paper as opposed to using Google.
