My opinion on the research process has definitely changed since starting this online class. I used to only use Yahoo, or Google, but now that I've seen the multiple ways to search for information, I know I can look at several sites to find it. It really has become easier for me to do research. In the past I would just type in a word, in the subject header, and use the first couple of result sites that appeared. Now I use advanced search, with specific details entered in the search boxes.
A few tips I've found are to use different search engines, for information, such as Dogpile, or Alta Vista. They often come up with alternate information not covered by Yahoo or Google.
Another tip is to investigate all the drop down menus, or links within links. These give you even more options for searching by opening up more links.
