Activity 13: Statistical Abstract of the United States

I was having fun finding out random facts about sports, health practices, Minnesota, then oops...encountered a page saying "Available in Print Edition Only". Not sure if Sun Ray will be housing a print edition or not. Will be finding out soon...

Exporting to PDF or Excel is really quick and searches come back really fast. Searching online seems to go very quick -- I've used the print edition perhaps a couple times using the index which now can seem cumbersome compared to keyword searching. Although flipping through print indexes can lead to another method of discovery withing certain topics.

Activity 11: Search Engines Beyond Google

Seemed like the listed search engines came back with similar results-lists based on my recent searches. Another one I experimented with was Dogpile -- pretty clean presentation.
