Google Tips & Tricks

An infographic about googling tips. It suggests using operators (site colon is used for searching only that stie, quotation marks around a phrase limits the search to that exact phrase, putting a tilde in front of a term will also search related terms, a minus symbol before a term excludes it from the search, and two periods between a date range limits it to results from that range. For Google Scholar, you can search a particular author using the term author and a colon after it, followed by the author's surname. For a definition, you can type define, a colon, and then the term. Keyboard shortcuts include find on page (control plus F), zooming in and out (control plus the plus or minus sign), and selecting the address bar (control plus L). It is recommended to search the library's website first, to not cite Wikipedia, and to refer to bibliographies of trustworthy sources for more.
