Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Before beginning a search, it is useful to refine the terms using Google's built-in parameters.

Users can even tell Google to retrieve results only from within a specific website. By setting the terms of their search using these parameters, users can refine their results so the information retrieved is tailored to their needs.

Also, Google features multiple search categories, including News, Images, Videos, Shopping, and more. Students may find the Google Scholar of particular use, as it enables users to search out sholarly papers -- perfect for compiling resources for a research paper.
