INTERNET EASYFIND
Welcome to Calgary Public Library's Internet EASYFIND. - your one-stop toolkit for locating what you want on the Internet.
Google, one of the the most commonly used search engines is a great first stop for most
general searches. However, there is a new generation of search engines that
are providing alternate ways to scour the Net for images, multimedia, news
and more. Using other search engines and virtual libraries can enhance
your end results. The next time you are searching online, try some of the
sites provided below. This is only a sampling of the ever-growing options
available. For a more comprehensive listing, check out either Search Engine
Watch (www.searchenginewatch.com)
