Search engines unknown but very important

Discussion 2 Week 2

Many of my colleagues wrote about other search engines. It is a great chance for me to know more details. I was a great chance to know that the World Wide Web has this amount of the search engines. I decided to write about some other. I know that they may be known by some but others mayn't know them.

There are some search engines which I tried and provided me with a large amount pf specialized information related to different types of topics. When you want general information you can try :

1-      www.iseek.com . Because it's  an excellent targeted search engine, designed especially for students, teachers, administrators, and caregivers. Find authoritative, intelligent, and time-saving resources in a safe, editor-reviewed environment with seek.

2-      http://www.virtuallrc.com/ . This search engines indexes thousands of the best academic information websites, selected by teachers and library professionals worldwide, in order to provide to students and teachers current, valid information for school and university academic projects.

When you want books or references from any library, you can use these coming search engines to find out which libraries have the books you need, and maybe even find them available online:

3-      http://www.worldcat.org/ . The WorldCat connects you to the collections and services of more than 10,000 libraries worldwide.

4-      http://books.google.com/ . In this search engine you'll supercharge your research by searching this index of the world’s books. You’ll find millions for free and others you can preview to find out if they’re what you’re looking for.

5-      http://openlibrary.org/ . Here you can find the world’s classic literature, open e-books, and other excellent open and free resources in the Open Library. You can even contribute to the library with information, and  corrections to the catalog.

There are many people who want to make searches for scientific topics . For those I recommend the coming sites.

6-      http://www.sciseek.com/ In this science search engine and directory, you’ll find the best of what the science web has to offer. Browse by category, search by keyword, and even add new sites to the listings.

7-      http://worldwidescience.org/ . You can use WorldWideScience.org as a global science gateway, offering excellent search results in the sciences, and even the option to select specific databases and find resources in your own language.  

8-      http://www.science.gov/ In this government science portal, you can search more than 50 databases and 2,100 selected websites from 12 federal agencies. This is an incredible resource for millions of pages of U.S. government science information.

History is very important for everyone. The historical studies are really important to justify the life nowadays and help to give solutions to modern problems from earlier life. So people who have interest in history can access these search engines:

9-      http://www.londonmet.ac.uk/genesis/ . In this his historical search engine you can find excellent sources for women’s history with the Genesis dataset and extensive list of web resources.

10-  http://historyengine.richmond.edu/ . In The History Engine is an educational tool that gives students the opportunity to learn history by doing the work—researching, writing, and publishing—of a historian. The result is an ever-growing collection of historical articles or "episodes" that paints a wide-ranging portrait of life in the United States throughout its history and that is available to scholars, teachers, and the general public in our online database.

For me these are some of the search engines. I hope that my colleagues can access and benefit from . But I still stick to Google as it can provide the majority of these search services easily and smoothly. I think also that many people got used to the usage of Google and how easy it is.
