POSTER AVAILABLE TO HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS USE GOOGLE BETTER

Looking for tools to help teach your patrons how to use Google more effectively? Google has a downloadable poster available on their website. It has “some nifty modifiers to type in your Google search box to refine your searches and get the best results.” It includes enclosing an exact phrase in quotation marks, excluded words, numerical ranges, definitions, math answers, and conversions. (Did you know that you could do all those things?) You choose between the 8½ x 11 and 17 x 22 sizes. Print several and post them at your public-access terminals (and anywhere else your customers search).
