50 Search Engines You Probably Don’t Use Yet - Added by Katie Lepi
Students, teachers and the public turn to their librarians for help researching everything from technology to
genealogy to homework help and lesson plans. Even if your library is equipped with subscriptions and
memberships to top of the line databases and online journals, you’ve probably had to get creative during a
patron’s requested search for something unfamiliar.
Next time, though, you can turn to one of these 50 search engines, designed to pull from the Web only the
information you really need.
Meta Search and Multi Search Engines
These meta search and multi search engines can search numerous engines and sites at once, maximizing the
number of results you get each time you conduct a search.
Ms. Freckles: Adorable Ms. Freckles can search online for different file types, definitions, translations, film,
finance sites, and a lot more all at once.
Kart00: This cartoon-inspired search engine lets you hover over results to get a preview of the site before you
open it. Results are also organized by topic so that you can narrow down your search and organize hits.
Fazzle: Search the web’s best, the entire web, downloads, images, videos, audio or headline news. You can also
select an advanced search to find incredibly specific results.
Trexy: This site saves your search memory so that you don’t have search multiple times on different engines.
Mamma: Here at “the mother of all search engines,” librarians search the web or video. Next to your results is an
option to refine your search by choosing a suggested category.
1-Page Multi Search: Type your search into one or several of the following search engines at once: Alta Vista,
AOL, EntireWeb, Gigablast, Hot Bot, Lycos, Scrub, Yahoo!, Google, YouTube, Dogpile, Ask Jeeves, and a lot
more.
iZito: Busy librarians who are constantly finding new reference sites and search engines will like iZito because of
its ability to save your history in an easy drop down tab.
Multimedia and Interactive
For help finding pictures, podcasts, music and shareware, use these search engines.
Metacafe: Find videos on this site if you want a change from YouTube.
Songza: Patrons looking for music can use this search engine, which “lets you listen to any song or band.” You
can also search the featured list or top played list.
Picsearch: This large photo search engine has more than 2 billion images in its directory.
Shareware: If you need to install new software programs on your library computers, turn to Shareware first, which
pulls up tons of free programs and downloads.
Curriculum Search: Help teachers find reference materials, lesson plans and tools by searching this Google
custom search engine.
Thinkers: Wisdom: This site features a literary search engine called Wisdom that can search the web, images,
audio, video, a dictionary and more.

Encourage Curiosity
http://www.teachthought.com/learning/20-tips-to-promote-a-self-directed-classroom-culture/
• Curiosity is what propels a young child to venture
away from the safety of his/her mother to explore
the environment.
• As much as possible, allow your student’s
curiosity to take them to new places.
• When assigning projects, do you have to impose
limitations on topics or can you trust their
curiosity will find something worth investigating?

1. Organizing a Team
2. Blue Sky - Sparks-Ideas- Characters -Theme - More than a ride
"Blue Sky" is the name that Imagineers give to the theoretical planning process--the bouncing around
of ideas about how to design, why to design and what to design. It is the idea board stage of
imagineering.
3. Design - Mind Map - Research - Location-Location-location - Collaboration tools - White
board- Model -Scale
Design is the next stage of the process, and possibly the most lengthy, because it involves exceptionally
detailed and technical planning. This is where the "engineer" part of "imagineering" really comes into
play. Computer and 3D models are constructed to make the ride move from idea to reality.
4. Storytelling
- Brainsrorming -Storyboarding - Making it real -Sketch - Sketch-up - Resources - Patent search
The ride then moves on to the storytelling phase--unlike most theme parks, Disney prides itself on
telling stories throughout its entire enterprise. The theme parks are no exception. This can also
encompass or lead into a research and development phase.
5. Engineering and Effects- Audio- Music-Mock up- Virtual
The engineering team then takes the models and story and makes it all into a physical reality, building
the ride and designing the lighting, sound and special effects.
6. Testing and Closeout
From there the ride is extensively tested and checked from every point, angle, location and experience.
Once the testing is satisfied, it's time for closeout, where everything is finalized and the Imagineers
move on to their next project.

• For every nine people who denounce innovation, only one
will encourage it.
• For every nine people who do things the way they have
always been done, only one will ever wonder if there is a
better way.
• For every nine people who stand in line in front of a locked
building, only one will ever come around and check the
back door.
• Our progress as a species rests squarely on the shoulders of
that tenth person. The nine are satisfied with things they are
told are valuable.
• Person 10 determines for himself what has value.
