Chris Nolan

During Chris Nolan's presentation, I thought the most interesting thing i learned was about Google and how to do advanced searches. Also, what makes a website not a creditable source. I never knew how you could take out websites with .com endings or look up just .com endings. Also, the pdf he had about advanced searches was another good insight on how to do advanced searches on Google. For instance, I didn't know you could type define: then a word you wanted defined and the results would be instant definition of the word. Also, I never knew that Google offered scholarly sources for references. I assumed that you would have to go to the library or look it for them through the library's website. It is helpful to know that you can search for scholarly sources through Google and sometimes it reverts to back the library website.(Trinity's Etext) Something that surprised me was how the martinlutherking.org website was not a legitimate site for accurate information. I thought just because of the .org ending it had to be a good source. I was mistaken about the .org endings being a good, relevant source because it was obviously run by a very biased group. In the end you have to be careful of what websites you look at because a name of a website can be very deceiving.
