The purpose of this activity is to:
- practise using different search engines when searching
for the same information;
- compare the search engines and note the strengths
and weaknesses of each one for a particular type of search.
Each search engine searches for information differently
and you should experiment with using various types of search engine.
As you do so, notice what is successful for you and what is not. Share
this information with your group and your colleagues. In this way you
will learn good techniques and your searches will become more and more
successful.
