VisualEyes OpenDOAR | Directory of Open Access Repositories Skills for Online Searching - ipl2 A+ Research & Writing Learn how search syntax works Search syntax is a set of rules describing how users can query the database being searched. Sophisticated syntax makes for a better search, one where the items retrieved are mostly relevant to the searcher's need and important items are not missed. Boolean logic Boolean logic allows the use of AND, OR and NOT to search for items containing both terms, either term, or a term only if not accompanied by another term. Wildcards and truncation This involves substituting symbols for certain letters of a word so that the search engine will retrieve items with any letter in that spot in the word. Phrase searching Many concepts are represented by a phrase rather than a single word. Proximity This allows the user to find documents only if the search terms appear near each other, within so many words or paragraphs, or adjacent to each other. Capitalization Field searching All database records are divided up into fields. Make sure you know what content you're searching

102 Minutes That Changed America 102 Minutes That Changed America is a 102-minute American television special documentary film that was produced by History and premiered commercial-free on September 11, 2008, marking the seventh anniversary of the attacks. The film depicts in virtually real time the New York-based events of the September 11 attacks primarily using raw video footage from mostly amateur citizen journalists. The documentary is accompanied by an 18-minute documentary short called I-Witness to 9/11, which features interviews with nine firsthand eyewitnesses who captured the video footage on camera. According to this film, most of the archival video footage was in possession of the U.S. government but was released to History years after 9/11. This film was shown on Channel 4 in the UK, France 3 in France and History Channel in Brazil on Monday 07 September 2009. In The Netherlands it was shown on SBS6 on Wednesday 09 September 2009.

Accueil - Metapedia PubMed Unintentional Knowledge - The Chronicle Review By Julio Alves I started teaching writing in graduate school 20-plus years ago, and it did not take me long to start looking forward to the pile of research papers at the end of the semester. Unlike much of the writing earlier in the semester, done from assigned readings and carefully crafted prompts, the research papers tackled broad, open-ended questions. Students developed their own ideas and went to the library to research topics of their choice. It was exciting to see how they made sense of what they read. But that was in the old days, before the ease and precision produced by the Internet. When I started teaching, books were easier to find than articles, whose references were buried deep in voluminous, thin-paged indexes. As periodical-search engines blossomed, students, ever adaptable, started using more articles. Then the development of Google and of electronic journals essentially converged. Consequently, my students hardly ever consult books.
