Tips for Google (+google scholar) Read, watch, listen, learn and quiz along the way !
Even though Google only searches the top of the iceberg, or what is called the visible web, it still finds oceans of information. In this introduction we go through some of Google's limitations but especially its possibilities.
The tutorial is built up in steps. The steps consist of short video clips from this PowerPoint presentation, tests that you can watch, read and listen to, and from time to time there is a short quiz for you to answer. You can also watch and listen to the complete video.
