LOUIS Union Catalog and Web Searching
LOUIS:
To find other grant writing and foundation resources in all academic libraries throughout the state by searching the LOUIS Union Catalog. Try the following search:
grants and writing and 2004
Run this as a keyword search, exactly as typed. This will give you a list of all academic libraries in the state that have grant writing resources published in 2004. Likewise, you can simply change the year or change the word "writing" to "foundations" to modify your search.
GOOGLE:
To search the web for Grant Writing and Funding resources, go to Google and type in the following search:
"grant writing" international site:.org
What you are telling the search engine here is that you wish to retrieve sites that have the phrase "grant writing" in them, combined with the word "international," and that you want all of these sites in the results list to have a domain name that ends in ".org" (which is the domain name designation for not-for-profit organizations). By the same token, you could type "site:.edu" to retrieve only sites that are from universities and "site:.gov" to retrieve only United States government web sites. Additionally, you could run a search as follows:
"grant funding" international site:.org
You should always remember that the only thing a search engine can do is return hits based exactly on the terms you have typed, so vary your terms and be creative if you want to search under every rock.
