Internet Search Tips

Using site: or domain name searching in Google Advanced Search

  • In Google basic search box type in:  your keywords  site:.gc.ca for Canadian government documents. For example: “substance abuse” site:.gc.ca or homelessness site:.gc.ca or for BC government documents, use site:.gov.bc.ca
  • Google Advanced Search lets you type in your keywords and add a specific website or file extension (.ca, .org, .gov, .edu) to "Search within a site or domain" 
  • Try your search in Google Scholar to locate a certain subset of academic items on the Internet.  Sometimes it brings back conference proceedings, links to articles or books.  Sometimes the links to journal content do not work as they require you to pay for the full text.  Check the UFV Journals List if you are looking for a specific title and follow our links to access the journal.
  • Also search your keywords in Google Books.  Pages not accessible due to copyright?  Check the UFV Library Catalogue for the title.

The University of the Fraser Valley is situated on the traditional territory of the Stó:lō peoples. The Stó:lō have an intrinsic relationship with what they refer to as S’olh Temexw (Our Sacred Land), therefore we express our gratitude and respect for the honour of living and working in this territory.
