Nettrekker vs. Google

I think that Nettrekker is the better search engine over Google. Google might come up with more results but Nettrekker is better because it helps you narrow your results and it gives you ratings which helps you to find better sites faster. Nettrekker was the site that returned more revelant information to me than Google did. Nettrekker is way easier to use because you are in a more refined site and you aren't out on the world wide web. I tried all the things suggested like the dictionary and the subjectheadings and they prove that Nettrekker is better than Google because it helps you to refine your research and find more revalant information.
I tried the I'm feeling lucky button and other things like that but I still like Nettrekker better. When I mispelled my search items Netterkker came up with better things to fix it and more keywords. The rating system on Nettrekker is really nice because it helps you to find information faster because you might not look at a 2 star sight oyu would probably lokk at a 5 star sight.

Nettrekker Strenghts Weaknesses
Rating System Not that many sites
Narrow Information
Faster than Google

Google Strengths Weaknesses
Get lots of results Slower
No rating system
Gives information not needed

Research so Far

I have gotten quite a lot of information for my question "Are dairy products healthy for you?". I have gotten lots of websites that support my question saying that dairy products are healthy for you. Here is a list of them: http://www.glycemicgourmet.com/glycemic-index-list.html, http://www.dairygoodness.ca/en/consumers/food/dairy-products/dairy-products.htm, http://www.rense.com/general26/milk.htm, http://drbenkim.com/articles-dairy.html, http://consumer.darigold.com/about.html, http://consumer.darigold.com/heritage.html, http://consumer.darigold.com/products.html, and http://corporate.darigold.com/default.aspx?co=4. These are all the websites I have found and they all support my question saying dairy products are healthy. I have looked for websites on the other side saying dairy products are not healthy but I haven't found really any information on this side of it so I need to look more for articles and websites on this. Here are some quotes from the websites I just listed: "Darigold is pride. Pride in our products, pride in our heritage.We've been making America's favorite brand of high quality dairy products since 1918." "Few beverages can beat milk in terms of total nutrition package."

Focused Research: Ebsco

I didn't really like this website because it didn't come up with that much information that was related to my project. There were some videos but they weren't good.

Points of View

I really like the points of view website because its very easy to use and it comes up with more information then the opposing viewpoints website and i would rather use the points of view website. I think that the best tab to look under is primary documents because it comes up with the best information on dairy products then the other tabs do. The best subject terms are probably dairy farms and dairy products because they help me get my search narrowed down to what I want. It gives some help on citing sources but not that much. I really like the points of view website more than the opposing view website.

Opposing Viewpoints - Focused Research

I think the opposing viewpoints website is really good because it gives me information on both the good health reasons for dairy products and the bad health reasons of dairy products. It is also nice because I can type in any of my keywords and it comes up with information on dairy products and if there healthy or not.

Operational Definitions

Here are some definitions of words that are on my blog and ones that might be confusing to my readers.
