I chose the WWW Virtual Library
Fist page has alot of information giving 15 basic catagories to choose from, I choose Art. I started playing with the search function to see how it worked, search statements: Art and Media showed me websites relating to art as well as media.
"Art Media" in quotes gave me all sites related to Art Media in quotes bringing me to websites dealing in Art Media instead of Art and Media.
I searched for Baroque Art in quotes came with an entire different set of searches then I searched for Baroque and Art came up with another completely different scope of results.
This search engine regarding Art took me to sites that actually showed pictures of art, anything and everything to do with Art, artwork, painting. I found that alot of the links are not in english when regarding Art, as well as alot of the links don't really take you anywhere most didnt work. But the ones that did, worked well I could use this search engine to really get to the point of my art and media search.
There is an advanced search engine on this site, used the same as any other search engine we have used in this class, but it has a URL match section which I found useful.
