Chris Nolan Tips

Chris Nolan came to the class Thursday and gave great tips on how to get good scholarly information. However, due to not feeling well I wasn't in attendence. However, another CS 1300 student, Leslie Green, filled me in on what Chris shared with the class. One tip that Leslie relayed to me was the importance of looking at domain names when searching for information, and that you can also control the type of domain  names that come up during a search. Also, I was informed that Chris Nolan told us about a way to limit your search results to scholarly material when searching on Google by using a subset called "Google Scholar". Another fun fact that Leslie relayed to me from Chris was that more than 60% of people use Google as their main search engine!
