To Infinity...and Beyond (Google)

There is a lot of information out there…..both authoritative as well as junk.  Students often need help in muddling through the plethora of information available.  The following search engines are credible alternatives to standard Google, the largest search engine on the planet. 


A public service organization and learning/teaching environment that is maintained by students and volunteer library and information science professionals.  This site is hosted by Drexel University’s College of Information Science and Technology. 


Every website in SweetSearch has been evaluated by research experts.


Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature.  


Web search engine for students and researchers that aims to make academic information easily accessible to everyone.  RefSeek searches more than one billion documents, including web pages, books, encyclopedias, journals, and newspapers.  


Happy Researching!
