`Web Searching Tips
`It's one thing to wander around the Web, discovering as you go, or
`running down a list of links that someone’s given you. But what if you
`have something specific you're looking for, an obscure fact, a new
`trend, some demographic information? Here are some Web research
`tips that may help you:
`0 Know what you're looking for. Narrow down the search as
`closely as possible. Find out the appropriate terminology. Often,
`the most difficult part about finding something is figuring out
`what other people call it.
`0 Write down your best guesses of keywords and terminology
`before you get online. It's easy, especially in a hyperlinked
`environment, to get distracted. Stay on the trail of what you
`came for.
`
`0 Be organized! Keep track of were you've been so that you don't
`end up covering the same ground. Keep a log of all the sites you
`visit and what they contain.
`0 Take notes as you go, using Windows Notepad or a resized
`(small) word processing window. You can cut and paste rel-
`evant material from the documents you're searching. Don't
`forget to match material you cut and paste with the document's
`URL in case you need to come back for more. Sometimes you
`get more useful information than you think you did. Going
`through your session notes, you may often find an excerpt you
`originally missed and you'll want to return to that document.

`
`Q01 HP _...._._._._._._._._._._._
`
`Don't forget, you can use the Windows Notepad to cut and paste
`URLs you find while in Mosaic or while using other Internet
`services. That way, by saving them electronically and not writing
`them down, you remove the risk of copying them incorrectly.
`
`0 Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Often different Web
`search engines use different methods for organizing their
`indexes. Some are generated automatically, so they can include
`just about every Web page in existence. This is great, but you
`may spend a ridiculous amount of time sorting through a lot of
`useless information. On the other hand, some Web searching
`indexes are very specialized and won't ever have anything
`about the subject you're searching for. Diversify! Try to use a
`combination of techniques.
`
`0 Don't be lazy and just rely on webbed information. Sometimes
`it helps to use other Net resources. There's a lot of information
`out there on Gopher, WAIS, Archie and other searchable sys-
`tems. If you're stuck in your Web searches, break out HGopher
`and start looking elsewhere.
`
`0 Don't be afraid to ask. Sometimes, other people are the best
`Internet search engines. Many people have been places you
`haven't; someone may have already surfed that elusive corner
`of the Net that has what you're looking for.
`
`0 USENET is also a great resource. Read newsgroups like
`comp.infosystems.www and other groups that serve people
`with similar interests. A quick question on a newsgroup can
`reach thousands of people in minutes. Sometimes, you'll receive
`an answer within hours.

`

`
`I Don't forget the phone book (and other more conventional
`methods). Often, the information you're looking for doesn't
`require a global data search as much as it does a call to your
`local library, TV station or government agency. The resources of
`the Net and the Web shouldn't end up being a crutch.
`
`0 Keep an open mind. Just because a source at first might not
`seem like it's going to be useful, learn to trust your instincts and
`break off the beaten path every once in a whi1e—you might be
`surprised.

`Cool Sites to Visit
`st
`Now that we've seen what the Web has to offer in the way of resource
`centers and online libraries, it's time to expand our horizons and look
`at some of the more culturally oriented offerings. From art and pop
`culture to games and virtual reality, the sites in this section give you a
`bird's eye View of some of the Web's cooler watering holes.
`
`Art & Literature
`One of the most exciting areas of the World Wide Web and hypermedia
`browsers like Mosaic is the possibilities they offer for making, exchang-
`ing and viewing art and literature over the Internet. A whole new type
`of art, called telematic art, has emerged in cyberspace. In telematic art,
`the Net and the Web themselves, and the forms of interactive commu-
`nication they allow, become part of the art. You can learn more about
`telematic art, online art happenings, interactive literature and other

`Cyberculture
`Cyberculture is what you get when you cross digital technologies,
`avant-pop culture and fringe science. Inspired by the
`cyberpunk science fiction of writers like William Gibson
`and Bruce Sterling, cyberculture is concerned with the
`near future and how the increasing and widespread
`availability of high technology will affect our lives. It's a
`do-it-yourself mentality applied to futurism.
`
`Funky. Shake your booty!

`
`When logging onto FTP sites, it's a good idea to keep in mind
`what time zone you're calling. Logging into a university computer
`during peak school hours may leave you waiting in a long virtual
`line, twiddling your thumbs. Try another site where it's the
`middle of the night and you may have better luck. Popular infor-
`mation services usually have less traffic during the day and are
`more crowded right after school and work and on weekends.
`Also, whenever possible, try the sites closest to you first. Calling
`France or Sweden when you can get what you need from a local
`Internet site is wasting somebody’s money, possibly your tax
`dollars. Be a considerate Net citizen.
