Chris Nolan
I think Chris Nolan had a lot of great information about researching online and through the Coates database. Something new that I found out was how to do an advanced search on Google. I really liked the capability of searching for certain types of documents and also how to search for documents if you don't want a certain word to be included in the results, like Chris' example of searching for Mexico and having many New Mexico sites pop up by default. One thing I found interesting was that most of the academic sites on Google do not show up until many pages into searching unless you do an advanced search. I always thought that Google would list the scholarly and academically credible sites first.
