Contextualized Online Search and Research Skills

Internet Research is a research method in collecting and gathering information via the
internet by using a search engine such as Google.

A search Engine is a program that allows users to search for content on the internet.

Examples of Search Engine

Google Aol Search Wow Baidu
Web Crawler Yahoo! Search MyWebSearch WolframAlpha
Bing Info Dogpile DuckDuckGo
Ask Infospace Contenko Internet Archive

Searching the Web

Getting the correct and reliable information is our goal in internet research. We may
rely on the capability of the search engine but sometimes it may not give us the correct
6
information because of the keywords we entered a search engine. There are techniques in
searching for information that can be applied in a search engine to get a better result. Some
search engines allow the combination of words and logic connectors of AND, OR, and NOT.

Tips for Effective Internet Research by George Mathews

1. Know what kind of research you want to do.

2. Make a list of keywords you will use in your search.
3. Enclose keywords in quotation marks.
4. Use the minus sign (-).
5. Try specialized search engines.
6. Skim through search results web pages.
7. Bookmark
8. Review your bookmarks.

Online Research Skills by Hannah Trierweiler Hudson

1. Check Your Sources

2. Ask Good Questions
3. Go Beyond the Surface
4. Be Patient

6. Use Your Networks

Copyright Issues

There are millions of information that we can get from the internet. Some of this
information is free but others are not. They are protected by copyright law.

What is Copyright?

Copyright is a protection given to the owner of the rights in an original work such as
books, musical works, films, paintings, and other works, as well as computer programs.
This original work is called intellectual property which is protected under Republic Act 8293
known as the “Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines”.

Copyright Infringement

This happens when the copyrighted work is used by another person without the
permission of the author or copyright holder. Any person who is infringing the protected
work would be liable under the law. An example of this is the case of M.Y. intercontinental
Trading Corporation (MITC), Tedwin T. Uy, Allianz Marketing and Publishing Corp. (Allianz),
and Fujian New Technology Color Making and Printing Company, LTD (Fujian) against St.
Mary’s Publishing Corporation (SMPC). Manila regional trial court ordered Fujian and its
partners to pay P24.7 million for the damages and cost of litigation for copyright
infringement to SMPC. Fujian and its three local partners were guilty of printing, copying,
reproducing, importing, distributing, and selling original and revised textbooks that they
have illegally sold to the Department of Education in Zamboanga, Municipality of Cabuyao
in Laguna, and Municipality of Matnog in Sorsogon without the approval of SMPC, the
copyright owner of the textbooks.

Fair Use

Research is important to students and other people. Most of them rely on the
information that they can get online. Although this information is protected by copyright
law, we can still use this information without permission in a limited way under certain
conditions and purposes.

Fair use is the use of copyrighted material for comment, teaching, criticism, news
reporting, research, scholarship, and another similar purpose that is not an infringement
of copyright.

An example of this is when you post a quote from a person on your Facebook wall.
Include the name of a person who owns the quote in your post. Another example is when
you copy an image from the internet, give credit to the creator of the image. The copied
image should be used for educational purposes and not for commercial use.

In fair use, 5% of the content of the reference can only be copied. If 20% or less of
the reference is copied, there must be a secondary use agreement and fee. And if 20% or
more of the reference is copied, it requires purchasing creative work.

Guidelines for Fair Use

1. Majority of the contents created must be yours.

2. Give credits to the owner.
3. Do not make a profit from copyrighted work.
