Rutgers RIOT

The Rutgers RIOT tutorial is a great way to learn how to navigate the library website. It taught us how to find new search engines that help limit our searches to topics that are only under our keywords. Other search engines, such as google and yahoo, bring up thousands of websites that might have only one of your words in the search tab among millions of other pieces of information that will not help with your topic. Using the search engines provided by the Rutgers library website we have the ability to use just key words to find thousands of articles to help us with our topic. These search engines also help narrow down searches to the specifics of your topic and allow you to get scholarly journals, articles, etc. The tutorial was a good teaching device because it took you step by step through how to navigate throughout the Rutgers library website. I don't think it needs any improvement.
