Video: Web Search Strategies in Plain English

One more excellent work from commoncraft crew. Definitely this will be helpful to explain the web search strategies to beginners and to school kids.

Keep up the great service.

Another great explanation! Will we see this video also coming to school filter-friendly TeacherTube? I can't wait to pass on the link.

What a fun way to show people what we librarians have been trying to teach them for years.

Lee & Sachi,

This newest entry into the In Plain English series surpasses your previous ones in wit, wisdom and looks. I'll be sharing this with my students at Georgia Southern University, especially those who are just learning how to do research for the speeches in my public speaking class.

Thanks so much,

Barbara

What an engaging presentation on web searching. Straight forward, to the point and entertaining as well. Wonderful work.

Another great one, simple as can be.

This is a terrific explanation of web searching! It's very clear and concise. As a librarian, I'm always looking for new ways to teach about searching. Is it possible for me to embed this in my library's webpage or do I need to buy a license?

I viewed this as a student for a college course. I had no Idea that the minus sign narrows the following word from the search. I have done this looking for the opposite results for my job previously, and thanks to this video, I can work more efficiently. Thanks a million!

I ran into another one of your videos doing a Google search. Thank you!

I second the motion for your videos on Teacher Tube too! Our filter is just too difficult to work around since only one person has control of unblocking websites. Teacher Tube is unblocked however and I love that several of your videos are there!

I use it to help my clients understand internet searching too.

Since moving to Hamilton and starting a new job I’ve been getting the “So.. What is it you do exactly?” question quite a bit. Put simply, I participate in online conversations… Broken down to its core, social media is that simple.I’ve read some very long winded explanations, watched some videos and read a few books, but it all boils down to the conversation. A lot of people reference tools that are used, but the tools simply enable us to participate and they are constantly changing and evolving.

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful & informative video.....It really broadened my perspectives..

Great work, thankee.

I also have been trying to tell peeps, for quite a while, about simple solutions to searching.

Without indulging in too much comment spam, may I offer a small piece that was inspired by a pal being unable to find parts for her newly acuired, secondhand Italian coffee maker, first produced in the 1950s.

After our little "searching -learning session", she has also talked to others about the two major inputs you cover, namely "+/-" and "quote marks" for phrase searching.

But if I'd been able to show her your piece first, the exercise would have been even easier.

I have never seen a simpler explanation for web searching in my life. What a great video. If I never had a reason to send people to your site, this alone would be enough. Thanks again to Lee and Sachi for your great work

chat thanks.

Thank you for another great movie. Videos show faster than written procedures can tell.

Please fix the dotsub link on this one, it points to your presidential election video.
