A New Digital Divide
• Those who know how to “think” about search vs. those don’t.
• Those who know how to validate soft information vs. those don’t.
• Those who know where to find information in new “hot” channels vs. those don’t.
• Those who understand the current culture of informal languages vs. those don’t

A New Digital Divide
• Those who know how to get information to travel to them vs. those who still chase it.
• Those who have the knowledge and skills to create and re-mix digital media vs. those who don’t.
• Those that understand that learning is a continual process vs. those that view learning as achievement.

The Art of Search
66Thursday, July 8, 2010
Organizing a Search
• What is it I’m looking for?
• (think about common keywords)
• How would someone else talk about it?
• (what words would they use? how would THEY describe it?)
• Which of those terms would be most common?
• Which of those terms would be very specialized to this topic?
• What kind of thing would make me happy? (do I want a single web page, a definition, a collection, an image.... or … ?)
67Thursday, July 8, 2010
Keyword Choice
• Think about what you are trying to find
• Choose words that you think will appear on the page
• Put yourself in the mindset of the author of those words
• Use synonyms
• Start broad and use just a few words, then go deep
• Use contextual terms
68Thursday, July 8, 2010
Other Search Tips • Use specifiers
• Example: [Hawaiian flowers wikipedia]
• Try an image search when normal means fail, you might find something that will be useful or spark your interest in a different way.
• Word order matters—when it’s not working one way, try another.
• When searching for common phrases, don’t leave out the “stop words.” (e.g., [ Lord of the Rings] )
• Use double quotes to find a particular sequence of words
• Example: “Daniel M Russell” or “Palo Alto Library”
