Web+Searching+Tools

[|RefSeek]--a search engine that is specifically designed for students and educators. Not nearly as academic as Google Scholar but still does a good job of filtering commercial sites. You can also try [|SweetSearch], which is a similar service that's more oriented towards high school and elementary school students. [|SlideFinder]--a search engine that finds slides from PowerPoint presentations that have been posted all over the web.
