I
still remember my school days….All the students were suppose to participate
in an inter-school science competition cum exhibition; internet was not
accessible to everyone at that time. Therefore, to make unique, meaningful and
award winning science projects, I and my friends used to read a number of books
and magazines; still at times we were not able to find precise as well as rich
information on different science topics for our project…. Things have
drastically changed in the past few years, now, if a student wants to know
about anything under the sun; he/she have to just type a word in the search
engines and they will find hundred of links and sources to a number of sites on
the net. User friendly characteristics and advanced features like intelligent
search are the reasons behind increasing popularity of search portals
among the students.
Google,
Yahoo, Bing, etc… holds an important place in the life of the students. These
portals have made their life easy. With such an advancement of internet, they
don’t have to go from one library to another to get valuable sources of
knowledge for preparing their projects or assignments; they just have to type a
word and press enter… Knowledge is just a click away for them.
Nowadays,
many graduates opt for advanced professional degree which needs a lot ofAcademic
research by them to get a firm grip on the subject.
Web
resources have increased in the past few years; this has resulted into slow
processing time. Sometimes web browsers display a list of irrelevant links and
sites, due to a large number of sites on the internet. Students have to go
through different links and have to sort out relevant as well as credible
information. Sorting out appropriate sources from a pool of site, consumes lot
of time and energy of these students. Though majority of search engines are
fully equipped with various user friendly features, many people feel that there
is something that can be added to these portals to make Academic research more
prompt, refine and useful.
Search
portals can be improved by adding features that can make the Academic
researchhassle free and quick. With such additions to web browser, the
researchers can get an access to various free and open sources as well as links
on the World Wide Web.
Researchers
can use these links to get information on any topic of their interest. Let us
take an example to understand this concept of intelligent search. If a
management student is interested to know about various case studies that are
conducted in prestigious B-schools. He/she can click on the links of different
management colleges from where they can download free sources which are available
on the sites. Hence they do not have to go through each site to find an open
source from where they can download useful study material for free.
Such
characteristic in a portal would be very useful for students and even
professionals from the field of management as it is a multi-faceted and dynamic
sphere….. Thorough knowledge of different business modules and operations will
help the management students to excel in his/her field. Academic
research is the key which unlocks different sources to get an in-depth
account of various developments and research works.
Advanced
attributions like intelligent search in the search portals can help
the students to easily find relevant sources and materials which would help
them to master different subjects as well as develop right attitude and
approach.
