SECTION 2: STRATEGIES FOR LOCATING RELIABLE HIV/AIDS INFORMATION ON THE WEB

LOCAL OR NATIONAL ORGANIZATION AND ASSOCIATION COLLECTIONS


Another option for finding information using an organization or association Web site is to look for the site's internal search feature. Use this search feature the same way you would use any search engine. The difference is that you are searching this one organization's Web site instead of searching the entire Web.

(Search engines features and functions are discussed in Section 3 of this tutorial.)

The example below is from AEGIS. The AEGIS (AIDS Education Global Information System) Web site displays its search feature on the menu bar that appears on the far left-hand side of the screen.

(Click here if you want to open a new browser window to the AEGIS Web site. You can also do a "Bookmark" in Netscape® or add it to your "Favorites" in Internet Explorer® if you want to go back to it later: http://www.aegis.com/).

Notice on the screen below, that when we click on the search feature , a search screen appears. Remember to read the search options carefully before beginning a search.
