High Quality Web Info

The biggest thing I got out of Chris Nolan's presentation to our class was by far the information on Google Scholar. I had no idea such a thing existed and I will most definitely be using it for projects and papers to come because of the advanced links and better quality information that google scholar offers. Something that surprised me is that other countries have to use two letter codes (i.e. .uk, .fr, etc.) because the United States Government got the rights to the three letter codes such as .com and .net first. I guess I was naive and just thought that they chose to do it that way, in part probably because .uk and .fr are the only two I am very familiar with and those both make perfect sense in my mind. I definitely think this lecture was helpful, and it was interesting to find out why google sources come up as they do when you enter a search term. I will definitely take all of this information that we learned into consideration before doing more open web research.
