Searching for more educational resources

To make it easier to search for more educational resources on the web, we have implemented a customized search engine which gives higher weightage to education related resources. If you use this engine to search on a topic of interest, the results will appear with the education resources displayed first. The results of your search can then be further filtered to show those related to lecture notes, books, assignments or software. (26 Mar 2009)
