question you would like to search. Think about how you
would describe the topic and choose 3 or 4 keywords.
2. Keep it simple. Describe what you want in as few terms
as possible.
3. Be specific. The more precise your search terms are, the
more precise your search results will be. Avoid general or
common words.

4. Imagine how the webpage you are hoping to find will


be written. Use words that are likely to appear on that page.
5. Capitalization, punctuation and spelling don’t really
matter. In most cases, search engines will ignore
capitalization and punctuation in a search and will generally
auto-correct your spelling mistakes.

6. Narrow your search results. There are several ways to help you
narrow your search results to find exactly what you’re looking for.:
• Use quotation marks to find exact phrases or names. Put a word or
phrase inside quotes.
Example: "tallest building"
• Use Boolean Operators (AND, OR, and NOT) to broaden or
narrow your search.
o AND (+ in Google) narrows the search because it requires both
terms to be in each item returned.
Example: Peanut Butter +and Jam

o OR broadens the search because either term (or both) will be in


the returned items. (OR gives you more!)
Example: marathon OR race
o NOT (- in Google) narrows your search because it will eliminate
any results with the second term.
Example: jaguar speed -car

• Apply filters. After you search, most search engines have filters
available that will refine you search to a specific type of contact.
• Search a specific site. If you’re looking for a specific topic on a
particular website, you can use site: to limit your search results to
that site.
Example: site:youtube.com or site:.gov
• Search for a specific filetype. If you know that you’re searching
for a particular type of file use filetype: to narrow your search
results to a certain type of file.
Example: filetype:ppt

engines is by using the advanced search. This will allow you to filter out
information you do not need. In Google, simply search a word like you
would normally do, and then click the Advanced Search option on the
options button located at the upper right corner of the page

• Look for a credible source. Some wikis, though filled with updated
information are not credible sources. This is because anyone can edit its
content. When using wikis, check out the link of the cited text (indicated
by superscript number) to be navigated to the footnote where the list of
sources is located. This is also labeled as References. Click the source of
the information to see if it is credible or not.

• Give credit. If you are
going to use the
information from a source
for educational purposes,
give credit to the original
author of the page or
information. To properly
cite a reference, you may
use the format below:
COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
• If you create something – an idea, an invention, a form of literary
work, or a research, you have the right as to how it should be used by
others. This is called intellectual property. The copyright law includes
your rights over your work, and anyone who uses it without your
consent is punishable by law.
• As a responsible user of the internet, you must consider that not
everything out there is free for you to use. Just like your own,
contents that you see from websites have their own respective
copyrights. There are several instances where employees or business
owners face copyright infringement and are sentenced to a huge fine
due to reckless copying of materials.
Here are some tips that could help you avoid
the copyright infringement:
1. Understand. Copyright protects literary works, photographs,
paintings, drawings, films, music and lyrics, choreography, and
sculptures, but generally does not protect underlying ideas and
facts. This means that you can express something using your own
words, but you should give credit to the source.
2. Be responsible. Even if the material does not say that it is
copyrighted, it is not a valid defense against copyright. Be
responsible enough to know if something has a copyright.
Here are some tips that could help you avoid
the copyright infringement:
3. Be Creative. Ask yourself whether what you are making is something
that came from you or something made from somebody else’s
creativity. It is important to add your creative genius in everything that
will be credited to you.

4. Know the Law. There are some limitations to copyright laws. In the
Philippines, copyrights only last a lifetime (of the author) plus 50 years.
Another limitation is the Fair Use.
Fair Use - means that an
intellectual property may be used
without consent if it is used in
commentaries,, research, library
Archi criticisms, search engines,
parodies, news reports Ving,
teaching and in education.
