The University of California at Berkeley offers an excellent online tutorial on "finding information on the Internet", covering basic through advanced search techniques. Included are an overview of the features of major search engines, detailed instructions for using seven of the most commonly used search engines, PowerPoint slides for presentation purposes, and search engine exercises. This is probably the most useful search engine training site, and includes information on browsers and "getting connected", and a glossary of Netscape and Internet jargon.
