Beyond Surfing

Surfing is browsing without tools,

much like going into a bookstore with no specific purchase in mind.

In this section you will find information to help you become an efficient searcher.

Surfing is unstructured and serendipitous browsing where you follow links from page to page, make educated guesses along the way, hoping sooner or later to arrive at a desired piece of information. Surfing is fun when you have time to explore, but when you need specific information quickly, or need to find information again, surfing and serendipity soon lose their charm.
