If I had my way, I would introduce internet search techniques as a core module in all university programs.

Too often I see in my students work evidence of lazy searching. It is as if they expect Google to be able to read their minds or even foresee their future intentions. Lack of variety of search terms is a key shortcoming. Also, lack of exploration of terms which are tangentially related to their search topic.

An internet search should be playful and exploratory. Above all, it should be understood that the internet is beyond simple linear indexing.
