Google Advanced Search

Conducting a general search through Google is a very poor way to conduct academic research. A more successful search for quality sources may be made using Google Advanced Search.

Type your selected search words into the "all these words" text box under the heading "Find Pages With . . . " and type ".edu" in the "site or domain" text box under "Then Narrow Your Results By . . . ."

This will limit your search to university websites.

Students should always be cautiously avoiding sexually explicit material. Turning on the SafeSearch option will help to minimize such unwanted material.


I would suggest typing "first century Palestine" (without the quotes) and your topic search term and/or a more specific or alternate search term in the "all these words" box. (Don't forget to select .edu in the site or domain box.)
