Though we live in a world where the name of a search engine became a regularly used verb, people aren’t necessarily adept at using Google, especially when it comes to research. There is a lot more to combing the Internet than simply typing the name of the author you’re researching into the Google search field, and even if you manage to find the exact information you were looking for, it may not be from a credible source. According to Hack College, in a recent study, 3 out of 4 students couldn’t perform a “well-executed search” on Google, so they put together an infographic full of tips and strategies on how to effectively use the search engine you’ve probably not been using too effectively. After the break, of course.
