Academic librarian Aaron Tay recently blogged about six common errors when using Google Search.

It seems that I need to update my Google Search skills because I too, have been searching erroneously/inefficiently. Take for example using "AND" in search strings. Aaron writes "Believe it or not Google does not explicitly support the AND string in search." He cites that "neither the official google help or the official Google power searching course mention the AND operator." WAIT! What? And there's a Google power searching course?
