    This article goes over tips that can be helpful when doing research online. I think some of these were discussed in class but some of them are new too.

    A nice little video from A New Zealand library explaining the difference between a search engine and a database. I noticed a bit of confusion about this on exam 2.

    You can use Google to search for magazines and magazine articles that date all the way back to the 1960's.

    Hey, that's super-useful, Talia, thanks! When Google scanned things from research libraries, that included a lot of magazines. Or maybe Google made deals with the publishers directly for these. There are some weird titles in there, though -- no Time, no Newsweek, but you can search through _Torque_, "Singapore's best homegrown car magazine" :)
