Return to StoreWe’ve all used the Internet to search for the answer to a question we might have. The question could be as simple as Who won last nights ball game? or an in-depth query for our university research paper. This course provides a road map for searching the Web without getting lost, sidetracked, or getting the wrong information. It provides simple tips and examples and points us in the right direction.
