Abstract

The academicians and researchers collect information of their interest utilizing the Web Search Engines for their day-to-day activities, teaching and research needs. But the users may be ignorant on the effective Search Engine to be used for the purpose. This article examines preference of the Search Engines by engineering faculty and their knowledge on Search Strategies.
