III. Discussion of different ways of searching the internet using the Google tool bar and Boolean Search Operatives such as, and, or, not or even the +sign.

A. Google Tool Bar

B. Basic Boolean Search Operators

1. Basic Boolean Search Operator - AND

Using AND narrows a search by combining terms; it will retrieve documents that use both the search terms you specify as in this example:

· Portland AND Oregon

2. Basic Boolean Search Operator - OR

Using OR broadens a search to include results that contain either of the words you type in. OR is a good tool to use when there are several common spellings or synonyms of a word, as in this example:

· liberal OR democrat

3. Basic Boolean Search Operator - NOT

Using NOT will narrow a search by excluding certain search terms. NOT retrieves documents that contain one, but not the other,of the search terms you enter, as in this example:

· Oregon NOT travel.

Computer Navigation Class Overview

File System History:

I. According to Ask.com the vertical file cabinet was invented in 1898 by a man by the name of Edwin G. Seibels who took his idea to the Globe-Wernicke Co. in Cincinnati, Ohio. Prior to that time papers were stored in flat bundles on shelves or in desk drawers.

II. How could we function efficiently if your desktop looked like this??? Let’s pull a Mr. Seibels and pretend we are inventing a file cabinet which we’ll call Drive C/Documents and Settings/Roberta. I’ve set up a few different categories and sub-categories.
