With the number of web pages growing by the second, searching
the web for a specific piece of information is getting more
and more difficult. Google Help Center is the perfect place to
learn how to get the results you are searching for.
We have several new interesting and topical free eBook
downloads - State of the Union Addresses from 1790-
2005, The Copyright Law of the U.S., transcripts from the
Judge Alito confirmation hearing, and more
Plus, our January training filled up so we have set new training

1) Google Help Center - Find exactly what you are looking for.
So many web pages - so little time. What do you do when you are
looking for that one specific piece of information in the hay-
stack we know as the web. Once again, Google to the rescue.
In addition to providing easy access to billions of web pages,
Google has many special features to help you to find exactly
what you're looking for.
The Google Help Center lists a variety of topics and how to
search them. Topics like books, definitions,
images, movies, phonebook info, news headlines and more.
There are also ways to search within a specific site, search
original pages as they were indexed in Google (cached
pages), and search for pages that point to a specific URL.
Also, Google provides ways to evaluate mathematical expressions,
convert currency, shop, spell check and get live stock quotes.
