Searching for HR Information on the Web

You are already familiar with some of the basics of web searching - you found this page! But how did you get here? Most likely you used one of the following methods:

• You typed HRM Guide's address into the 'location' or 'address' area at the top of the page.
• Someone sent you an e-mail with a link to this site - and you clicked it.
• You were given (or you found) a page with a list of links - including one to this site.
• You followed a link from another web site.
• You typed one or more keywords into a 'search engine' such as Google.
• You found a link on a blog or forum.

We'll look at these in turn and examine some of the advantages and problems associated with each method.
