How can I boost my search skills on the internet?
-
I use a lot of google search and 30% specific searches on Quora or Stackexchange as well as my gmail account with newsletters. I look in google books and google scholar for specific scienific information. That is where my search abilities end. How can I improve when I'm searching for a specific topic, like, when I would like to know how the scanner logic in an optical scanner works. I know I can pick information from different sites, but I would like to minimize the browsing and get efficient in finding the "leafs". I usually find them when I leave digital search and go into a library. Still it would be great to have digitial quality information as well.
