Project#15- search engines

       

 
     iseek is a search engine that complies hundreds of thousands of authoritative resources from university, government and established noncommercial providers. It provides time-saving intelligent search and a personal web-based library to help you locate the most relevant results immediately and find them quickly later. iseek looks deeper than traditional engines which just skim the surface of the web, to produce the most specific and relevant results available.

     American memory is a search engine that provides free and open access through the Internet to written and spoken words, sound recordings still and moving images, prints, maps, and sheet music that document the American experience. American Memory will continue to expand online historical content as an integral component of the library of congress, to harnessing new technology as it fulfills its mission for future generations.

     ipl2 is a public service organization and a learning/teaching environment. Thousands of students and volunteer library and information science professionals have been answering questions for thousands of students. ipl2 is basically a volunteered student-driven project.

     Reefseek is a unique approach that offers students comprehensive subject coverage without the information overload of a general search engine- increasing the visibility of academic information and compelling ideas that get lost in a muddle of sponsored links and commercial results

     African journals is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the online visibility of an access to the published scholarly research of African-based academics; this is done by using the internet as a gateway. Ajol aims to enhance conditions for Africans learning to be translated into African development

     Sortfix is one of the more useful search engines for students because it provides relevant, streamline search results. It does this by analyzing the keywords in the search results. This gives the student the ability to focus on or remove, certain keywords. It declares that Google, Bing, and Yahoo may not always be the best pick for students. It is visually appealing and much more user-friendly for younger users.

     QuinturaKids  is another great search engine for visual learners and it works like Sortfix. It is a brain stormer for the classroom. It catches the students attention by using words in clouds. The student will click the word and the search is on. It is one of the safest search engines for education.

      WolframAlpha- Its basic goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone It's aim is to bring expert-level knowledge and capabilities to the broadest possible range of people- spamming all professions and education levels. It's goal is to create something that will stand as a major milestones of the 21st century intellectual achievement. It makes the world's knowledge computable.
