[LM_NET] Tar: Middle school research

["Bzdusek, Shiloh" <shiloh.bzdusek@D300.ORG>]

Hello I need some help. A seventh grade teacher asked me to teach her classes 
research. When I do this I usually foucs on teaching Ebsco and Web path 
express(Follett feature). However this teacher really wants a strong internet focus 
because the students are obviously searching google and struggling. I have to admit 
I do not know alternative search engines??? I usually push Ebsco. Where should I 
take these kids and what should I teach them when I get there? Is there a good 
internet search engine that uses boolean operators??? There topics will be all over 
the board, science, math, history etc.
Help a newbie out. Thanks everyone.
