    2. What are we going to talk about? Information seeking habits of potential users How do you help them? Foraging for information Dissuade them from using Backrub (Google)! - What form will the information assume? (Full text on line versus DDR) - Simple word / phrase search techniques - More complex search methods

    3. The Deep Web Deep Web is a vast reservoir of Internet content that is 500 times larger than the known surface World Wide Web-scholarly information resides here Contains 7,500 terabytes of information compared to 19 terabytes of information in the surface web Has 550 billion individual documents compared to the 1 billion of the surface web

Simple tricks JCCC @ UGC INFONET is case insensitive Word & phrase searching (specialized searching) e.g., polycarbonate & fast fourier transform; e.g., fractal and human genome project British & American spelling variants e.g., orthopaedics & orthopedics, fiber & fibre, colour & color Use abbreviations (in the topic) e.g., mhd or magnetohydrodynamics, emi or electro magnetic induction, LCD or liquid crystal display) etc. Do not use abbreviations for conducting a publisher search e.g., CUP (use cambridge university press), AIP (use american institute of physics) etc. Beware of spelling mistakes JCCC is unforgiving of spelling mistakes! Please check. You dont have a friendly genie prompting you did you mean was it like this can I help you?. Use Boolean connectors - e.g., AND (narrows), OR (broadens), NOT (excludes);

    9. Simple tricks contd.. Do not use apostrophes in your search -E.g., Eulers, Avogadros etc.. Do not use umlauts (diacritics)-the umlaut consists of a pair of dots over a letter Umlauted vowels are a, o, u -E.g. Schrdinger's equation, Schn etc
