For today's lesson, we had to use invisible web for our research. I think that the invisible web is much more effective than other search engines, meta search or subject directories. I used TP's Digital Library portal. The search findings were more relevant as compared to those of search engines, meta search and subject directories. This is due to the fact that invisible web contains
information that these websites (search engines, meta search and subject directories) do not, due to technical limitations.

I would use the invisible web for research in my diploma as most the information found by the invisible web is reliable and relevant. However, I would not rely on the invisible web only. I would use search engines, meta search and subject directories for my research as well. This is so that I would be able to retrieve more information regrading my research topic from the Internet.

Besides using the invisible web for our research, we had to share our research findings on Wiki. Through this collaborative work, I was able to gain more information from other students who are doing the same research topic as me. This allows my research findings to be more varied.
