Google and government documents.
  • Under Development? (Richard Baer)
  • Completed? Yes, December 13, 2007
    A student told me that her teacher said she had to find a government report from the Internet. I showed her almost exactly the process the tutorial describes. This is a very small chunk of what we could do with teaching advanced Google skills. This fell into my lap, if anyone does a reference interview that could demonstrate the .org .edu or other useful domain, let me know.
