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.

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.

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.
