A search engine is a tool that searches the Internet.
It indexes the content of webpages and allows you to search using keywords.
Examples:
You will use an Internet browser to access the search engine and display the results.
What about databases?
Library databases also have searchable indexes. The main difference is that library databases contain articles from selected journals, while search engines look at anything posted online.
Internet Browser: a program on your computer that accesses the Internet and displays webpages.
Examples: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, & Safari.
See recommended browser settings & help for anyone using the Walden Library.
History: the websites you’ve been to.
Cache: saved elements from those sites. This may include pictures, cookies, etc. The cache makes loading the webpage faster the next time to go to it.
Cookies: small pieces of data about you saved in your browser. Cookies let the website keep track of some of your activities, such as your login information. This way you can log into a site (like the Library) one time, instead of every time you open new page. Cookies reduce privacy, but aren't a computer virus.
