Chapter 21. READY REFERENCE
Much of this book deals with extensive research projects—tasks that might take several search sessions and a lot of work. But equally valid, and even more useful for day-to-day searching tasks, are those Internet searches that are for quick tasks—dictionary definitions, encyclopedia entries, almanac listings, and other ready-reference–type services.
As you might imagine, the Internet is as good for that as it is for the more complicated searching—there are several Web sites devoted to ready reference information. What you may not know, however, is that search engines themselves have some ready-reference tools. We'll start with those.
