How to do research on the internet

How do I move around within a site?

When you find a webpage using a search engine, it does not always deliver you to the main (or home) page in that site. A well designed site will offer you an option for going to the home page. These are not always obvious, so move your mouse around looking for links. When there is a link the arrow will turn into a hand.

In some sites this will be a link or button that is labelled "Home", in others you might need to look for a logo or company name. For instance, in this site clicking on the words Library online tutorials in the top bar will take you to the first page of the Monash University Library online tutorials. At many Monash sites the University logo will take you to the Monash homepage.

Sometimes you can achieve the same effect by deleting all the information after the domain name in the URL, and clicking "Enter".
