A lesson in online research skills, specifically Googling, focusing on the use of certain Boolean operators and of the "Advanced Search" feature in Google and other online search engines as a beginner's way to use those operators.

Handout: "Implied Boolean and the Search for Wisdom."

The instruction in internet skills is in preparation for the online research students will use in the first essay, an argumentative paper supporting or opposing the abolition of slavery.

Remember: Use Advanced Search -- it's for beginners!
