Search Engines

The search engine I chose was "ipl2', which is a merger of Internet Public Library and Librarian's Internet Index.

One of things I like most about this site is that is has specific search engines for kids and teens.
It is a teaching/learning site
There is an online librarian available to answer questions
Does not include website(s) in search results that cost money to access, i.e. all sites used are free

I am actually adding this website to my favorites because it has received so many awards and kudos from librarians and professors alike.

  1. Jessica,
    You definately found a site that will give you links to reliable websites. Librarians are all about that!!

    Remember, though, from the tutorials. There is a difference between search engines and subject directories. Go back and refresh your memory. These websites are selected in a much different way.
