Google+Tools

Google offers a variety of tools to help users more easily locate information.

Wonderwheel: After executing a search, scroll down and click wonderwheel on the left hand side of the screen. This will create a graphic organizer of sub topics.

Timeline: After a search has been executed, scroll down and click on timeline on the left hand side of the screen. This will provide the user with a bar graph of years and results. Users can narrow down results to the time frame that they need.

Reading Levels: Users can click on the advanced search option and scroll down to reading levels. Users can select how they would like the reading levels displayed. This assists teachers/librarians in providing students with appropriate resources.
