Summary
I was not impressed with the search results It really lacked the results I was hoping for, I tried a variety of search strategies and what I listed above was the best out of all the results that came back. I did however take the name of the book and entered it in to pro quest and there were some additional articles that were directly related to the book, in addition, there were other topics that were directly offered amongst new ideas for tring different search terms.

The Internet and America's Changing Sense of Community

Summary
I found some good info most which was already known by me. I still wasn’t very happy with the search results on the topics using different search techniques. This was the closest match to what I was looking for in answers, but still feel better results would have been achieved through Google or even Yahoo. I also didn’t find anything in all of Cannel Library searches, this was a journal entry I found out of PSU.

Summary
I thought when I first read this article it was good but the lack information on citing it left me wondering the validity, until I clicked on one of the links at the bottom that carried me to NSF. I was then impressed at some of the articles to which I can find myself going back to on occasions not related to this course or its search topic. I was impressed on this search it was the best I think I have ever got of ask.com.

This site was the best out of what I used for the search terms used and it is a forum, some of the topics were interesting, but still not as close to the specific area and information that I was looking for, but again was the best I could get for the relation to the topic I am trying to find. I think I’ll stick to Google the Boolean operators seemed to work more effectively and search results were able to get me the information I wanted and stay closer to the topic for which I was trying to research.

Community Health Nursing: Caring for the Public's Health
By Kay Saucier Lundy, Karen Saucier Lundy, Sharyn Janes,Jones and Bartlett Publishers, Sudbury MA 2009 - 1129 pages
http://books.google.com/books?id=fj5dInclgw0C&pg=PA332&dq=How+is+the+internet+changing+the+community%3F#v=onepage&q=How%20is%20the%20internet%20changing%20the%20community%3F&f=false
summary
I wanted to use It pro for this search but I couldn’t get in even though I could freely move through Cannel Library, so instead I used Google Books. #1 hit was closer to what I was looking for than any of the previous searches through ask…using the same question exactly… and even without trying to use the Boolean operators. I started with Google in the beginning of class and was experimenting with ask to give it a chance, I don’t like ask. I felt I wasted a lot more time trying to get what I was looking for; even then it was not showing what I was looking for in results, no matter how I rephrased or entered in keywords.
Main Summary
I really think from now on I will avoid ASK.com like the plague. I was not very happy with the results and the amount of work and time I put in to the results I had received. Most of what I put through ask.com search was not even close to the topics I was looking for, even though it did offer some different terminologies and some added web sites that I found interesting along the way, but we’re very vague on information, and very short on topics that were relatively close to what I was looking for. I used to use geeves.com long time ago and Ask.com is the upgrade to it. In its day it was great, but I would say for research type topics in the future it’s Google, Yahoo, IT Pro, Pro Quest, and GVRL. These are my favorites.

Learning to search smarter
1. Spelling CountsWhile capitalization doesn't matter, correct spelling will always lead you to better quality results. If you do search on a misspelled term, our spell check feature should assist you. When a potential misspelling is encountered, we'll automatically suggest a correct spelling. If this suggestion is selected, we will perform your corrected search again, thus ensuring the best and most accurate search results possible.
2. Search With Keywords or Questions
Ask search technology responds to questions, phrases, or single word searches, giving you more options and making it easier for you to search the way you want.
3. One Search Or Question At A Time
As with any search engine, our technology works best when you pose only one search question or phrase at a time. If you're looking for information on, say, spas in California and hotels in New York, you should perform two separate searches in order to receive the best results.
4. Try Searching With Synonyms To Improve Results
If provides only limited results for your search, try substituting your original search with new terms that mean the same thing.
5. The More Specific The Better
Ask can pinpoint information if you make specific search requests. We are always working diligently to advance our technologies and extend our reach into the Web; however, we may not be able to recover every specific topic you may search just yet. So, if your specific request doesn't work the first time, simply try a more general request.
I think this search engine is based on questions to achieve it s best results, they made no reference to Boolean type operators. Like above, one keyword/ question per search. My favorite is Google, you can put in questions, keywords, and use Boolean type operators.

Its truly hard to believe that with truncation, parenthesis, AND, OR, Not can make such a vast difference in the search critique. Just typing in the word yield good results but didn’t seem to be much focused on the particular statement as a whole. My experimentation with truncation was dangerous I used it and had 1 hit of over 867,000 results. With some further revision and proper truncation my results got narrowed down to 264 now this was doable as opposed to the later.

IT Pro
Summary
Live tables kin of sounded neat but I have never had troubles getting what I wanted into the tables I have used, even with the excel spread sheet that they display. The new search hit Runner sounds awesome where you can basically skip through to keywords, but in the same token I think you have a higher risk in possibly missing pertinent information. The new and improved settings seem nice, then again I don’t think I could handle something else tying itself to my email, but for display purposes and information might be something of interest. We learned about IT pro in one of Bob Hughes classes and it’s nice you’re able to scope into the books. I have already used for different English courses, IT tech, and even my psychology class. I have turned a lot of people on to this site since I have been at Clark.
It is an awesome place to go for research, reports, or just general knowledge.

Ending Summary
** Is my personal rating system- In this I will probably not give any material a 9 or a 10. For me to do that would be very rare. What may be fact today can be proven wrong or there might be more to it than what was initially recorded by tomorrow. To rely on one book or article by itself to dictate truth would be retarded, and leaving an individual the possibility of ending up with their foot in their mouth. I hope this is the reason why we are going to the extent we are researching the different sources, positive and negative against our topics. I have used IT pro many times already, Cannell Library not so much, as with Summit. Now that I have came to use these wow I could be here forever trying to research all of the interesting things I have come across (Monster Data Base between them all).

Search interface is the same for the most part if you go into the advanced and more search options on either. I do see however most of the books I came across seemed to be at the universities stated and Lewis & Clark College.

IT Pro
Summary
Live tables kin of sounded neat but I have never had troubles getting what I wanted into the tables I have used, even with the excel spread sheet that they display. The new search hit Runner sounds awesome where you can basically skip through to keywords, but in the same token I think you have a higher risk in possibly missing pertinent information. The new and improved settings seem nice, then again I don’t think I could handle something else tying itself to my email, but for display purposes and information might be something of interest. We learned about IT pro in one of Bob Hughes classes and it’s nice you’re able to scope into the books. I have already used for different English courses, IT tech, and even my psychology class. I have turned a lot of people on to this site since I have been at Clark.
It is an awesome place to go for research, reports, or just general knowledge.

Ending Summary
** Is my personal rating system- In this I will probably not give any material a 9 or a 10. For me to do that would be very rare. What may be fact today can be proven wrong or there might be more to it than what was initially recorded by tomorrow. To rely on one book or article by itself to dictate truth would be retarded, and leaving an individual the possibility of ending up with their foot in their mouth. I hope this is the reason why we are going to the extent we are researching the different sources, positive and negative against our topics. I have used IT pro many times already, Cannell Library not so much, as with Summit. Now that I have came to use these wow I could be here forever trying to research all of the interesting things I have come across (Monster Data Base between them all).

Is the Internet accelerating the transformation of community?
For my research question, Is the Internet accelerating the transformation of community?, Lumosity, Unitech,, USA Today, UCLA,Google Books, IPL, Socail Change, Cybertherapy, NOVA, PBS, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, IMAX, History Channel and GVRL might be some useful sites aspects of transformation of a community. Instead of buying expensive programs or visiting speacialist which can cost a lot of money, a person can go on line and use sites like these to improve upon themslves memory, hand eye cordination, and so forth. 10 yrs ago there were almost 0 programs dedicated to promoting human growth (mind & body). With the internet available I believe this is a good transormation because these sites can be accesed at no cost and can help an individual better themselves and add different perspectives and information in which the can implement in to thier daily lives.
The reason for using these sources is most are acedemic journals either derived from Universities, accredited educational programs, or active working industry that deals directly with in these fields.
