Bare Bones 101. A Very Basic Web Search Tutorial

Developed by: University of South Carolina Beaufort Library
Type of resource: Online tutorials
Target audience: General
Cost: Free access

Created by Ellen Chamberlain at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Library, this is a helpful and easy-to-understand tutorial to searching the Web. It is meant to be "bare bones" only, designed to get you started in the right direction with a minimum of time and effort-or if you are bewildered by the sometimes confusing 'Help' sections offered by the various search engines, some of which throw rather too much at you at once. There are a total of 20 lessons, including lessons and descriptions of the major search engines, the search options they offer and their special features. Each lesson concludes with an assignment, and there are also recommendations for other tutorials, including those for advanced searching.
