Read everything before you start asking irrelevant or stupid questions or doing the wrong things.

     In this lesson you will practice the searching skills you learned in the Search Lesson and already practiced by looking for information about an author. This time you will need to use AltaVista's Advanced Search and the Boolean Query symbols you learned. Using these symbols will save you time and effort. If you don't remember or didn't really understand how to use them, click on "Boolean Query" above, and read again.

     Before you waste time looking for useless things, think of a page that might contain that kind of information. Ask yourself "What is this related to? Can any organization have a Webpage that contains what I need? How can I find that organization? What terms do I need to write in the "Search" box in AltaVista and with what connectors (AND, OR, NOR, NEAR)?

1. Find an image of a spaceship traveling in space.

2. Find an image taken from the Hubble telescope.

3. Find an image of the war in Afghanistan.
