Google has many capabilities beyond finding web pages. It also offers such functions as Calculator, Definitions, PhoneBook, Search By Number, Web Page Translation, and Who Links To You?

Learn how to use Google for these and other tasks.

You can also use Advanced Search to make your searches much more specific by limiting the date, domain, or file type of your results, and by indicating whether particular words or phrases can be interchanged, are necessary, or must not appear. Select Advanced Search next to the Search button to take advantage of this option and find tips for using it.

Google is a great tool, but it's not the only tool or always the best tool for finding web information. Here are a few other places to look: 

• The websites listed in the Subject Guides.
• Your syllabus, books and articles assigned for your class, or reference sources (on floor 1M) may have other good sites.

 Learn how to use search engines more powerfully. Google isn't always the best search engine for the job. Read more about becoming a power searcher at:

 Also consider using other resources besides the web. Not everything is on the web, and much of what is on the web is not suitable for college course assignments.
