Searching the web is part of our daily work routine in order
to address all our information needs for the day. Search engines in the internet are making
sure to offer enough data as much as possible in order for the virtual users to
continuously visit the site for the purpose information searching. Meta-Search engine on the other hand is a
site that allows to search from different search engines. Examples for Meta-Search engines are:
http://www.zapmeta.com.
Though academic researchers are dependent with their
Independent for profit websites, search engines and meta-search engines on the
other hand are useful for information regarding subjects that can be useful for
academic research and case studies. Scholars and students today are so dependent
with the available information in the internet rather than the information
available in the physical library.
The available
physical journals and books in the library cannot surpass even the library of
congress in US. As a result, university
libraries are combining the online and offline research information for the
academic supplements of the different academic faculties. As to the modern library users, knowledge in
using the modern library is a requirement for every academician in order to
acquire the latest secondary data available online. Another additional segment of search engine
that may useful for researching the web is the “Deep-Search Engines”.
Deep-Search Engines can find the index of the standard and meta-search engine.
Information used for research data analysis of today are usually being
collected via internet to make sure that the data collected is the latest and
even in real time data feeds. Real time
data feeds usually occur in financial data for analysis and research. Various platforms of internet data
availability must be addressed to the new generation of learners for research
effectivity.
