Background searching on the WWW

TOPIC:         

                        I have two topics that I am using for this class. My first is the Maidu Indians; the next is Poverty among children in Bangladesh.  (Possible solutions)

Search Engine Used:

1.      Google Scholar: I like that it is scholarly articles or books and that it shows what form the suggestion is in.

                                    Ideas; May have to look for causes to find possible solutions.

                                    Note: Change words from possible to “Probable”, Bangladesh to “Asia”

                                                Distinctive term; “Probably solutions”

                                                Broad term; “Poverty”

                                                Narrow term; Poverty in Bangladesh among street children”

2.      With Yippy I got more direct choices. It gives me the cloud results to narrow my search to specific places.  I like it and have put it in my favorites.

3.      Infomine;  this search engine want you to pay for most of the information that came up in this one, not impressed by it at all.

Ipl2; game more information and did not charge.

                        Note terms of search; end poverty in Asia; end poverty in Bangladesh;

                                                Distinctive Term; end poverty

                                                Broad term; “poverty around the world”

                                                Narrow term; Poverty in Asia “solutions”

                                                Related Term; Poor children in Bangladesh

                                    The difference between the two I think was a little harder because of the narrow choices. I did not find much of anything that pertained to my topic. I had to change my direction a couple of times.

5.      A) The domain is Nonprofit Organization.

B) There is an “about us” link and the date of the last update was 2/4/2013. There is not a specified author on the bottom of the page, but is done by THE WORLD BANK GROUP.

C) Yes, there are links that go with the page for additional information.

D) The reputation is high but is referenced from work and school.

E) I think it is an OK page. It was put on the web to create a place to show information about Bangladesh at a glance. I think the information given is as credible as information given in journals. I think this is probably where people have gotten their information.

6. I have learned how to check for credibility of a web page and to make sure it is not fraudulent.
