Doing Internet Research

     With the rise of the Internet as a source of information to the general public, it is quite necessary and convenient to have the proper research tools in order to do successful research on a particular subject. No single Internet search engine provides a complete listing of available web pages for a search topic or subject. It is necessary to use several search engines to extract the relevant information for any search subject. With this in mind, the Friends of the Bigelow Free Public Library provide the following Internet search engines as research tools for the patrons of our Library and all those searchers in cyberspace:
