Bare Bones 101: A Very Basic Web Search Tutorial
http://www.sc.edu/beaufort/library/pages/bones/bones.shtml
Created by Ellen Chamberlain, Head Librarian at the University of
South Carolina-Beaufort campus, this collection of concise lessons is
designed to help users get their Web searches on the right track
quickly and easy. The tutorial is divided into 20 independent
lessons, addressing topics such as meta-searchers, subject
directories, evaluating sites, Boolean logic, and field searching. It
also offers overviews of eight of the most popular search engines.
The last lesson consists of a list of what Chamberlain feels are the
best resources for more in-depth guides to searching the Internet.

American Journalism Review [pdf]

Published under the careful hand of staff members at the Philip Merrill College

comes out six times a year. The print magazine is available here for the general
public in an electronic format, and contains articles ranging from the changing
media landscape in the United States and to discussions about whether newsrooms
should use the names of illegal immigrants in their reporting on various events.
If visitors so desire, they may also browse the archives of this publication all
the way back to 1991. Those in the field of journalism (or those who are just
curious about the field) should browse on over to the “Resources” area. Here
they can learn about journalism fellowships and look over a list of helpful
“Reporters’ Tools”, which are essentially links to like-minded sites. For those
looking for a break from the normal supply of stoic headlines, there is the
“Take 2” area of the site. With just a click of the mouse, users can read a
number of funny errors and clever headlines culled straight from the wide world
of the American media.
