I originally posted this on Saturday afternoon which is typically the time when the fewest people are reading this blog. Since Saturday, I made a couple of slight changes.
While working with some of my colleagues in a workshop earlier this week, I was reminded that a lot of people aren't familiar with tools and strategies for refining Internet search results. In response to that experience, I sat down this morning and created this short guide to 15 tools and strategies for helping your students (and your colleagues) improve their Internet search results. I've embedded the guide below in two different forms which you can download for free.

Thanks for this - is their any chance of a more accessible version - text document based?
Excellent tips in your guide - thanks for providing this!
Another feature of Google that I find teachers and students overlook is the Advanced Search. The link is right there to the right of the Google search box, but when I point it out to most folks, they've never noticed it before. If searchers investigated and used that tool more often, they could easily refine their search results without having to know all of the boolean operators.
