Four topical examples and six pages of general instruction provide the context for learning ways to assess the quantity and quality of information retrieved through searches. Navigation arrows positioned next to heading titles facilitate free forward and backward movement across the presentation. An overview and summary emphasize the main concepts in boldface text.
