  • How to help our ancestors find us with Google Alerts.
  • How to better craft Google Searches with Douglas Barry's customized Google Search form.
  • How and why to search with a digital image instead of a phrase.
  • How to set up a Google Calendar and how to optionally embed other kinds of calendars.
