It is the practice of using Internet information, especially free information on the World Wide
Web, in research.

 tends towards the immediate (drawing answers from information you can access
without delay)
 tends to access information without a purchase price.
 Research

• The Research Process


• Searching the Web
There are billions of pages of information on the World Wide Web and finding relevant and
reliable information can be a challenge.
When entering a keyword into a search engine, you will receive a list with the number of hits or
results and links to the related sites.
• COMMON COMMANDS
FOR SEARCH ENGINES
• Quotation Marks (“) Using quotation marks will help to find specific phrases
involving more than one word.
• Addition Sign (+) Adding a + sign before a word means that it MUST be
included in each site listed.
• Subtraction Sign (-) Adding a - sign before a word means that it will NOT
appear in the sites listed.
• Asterisks (*) Asterisks can be used for wild cards in some search engines.

• Search Engines for Children


Search engines designed for younger students are useful tools for the classroom.
They screen for inappropriate material and provide appropriate sites for students on topics
related to educational and entertainment purposes.

• Setting Bookmarks on the Web
• Browsers such as Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer provide a way to create a list of
your favorite sites that you can access with a click of the mouse, this is thru bookmarks.
• COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
• It is the illegal use of someone else’s copyrighted work.
• Registering your copyrighted work can help you succeed in a lawsuit against someone
who is infringing on your copyright.
• If you create something – an idea, an invention, a form of literary work, or a research,
you have the right as to how it should be used by others. This is called Intellectual
Property.
• COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT – KNOW THE LAW
• There are some limitations to copyright laws.
• For instance, in the Philippines, copyrights only last a last a lifetime (of the author) plus
50 years.
• There are also provisions for “Fair Use” which mean that an intellectual property may
be used without a consent as long as it used for commentaries, criticisms, search
engines, parodies, news reports, library archiving, teaching, and education.
