Odds and Ends
We’ve illustrated on prior pages the key elements of knowledge management in the **Climate Web.** and how the knowledge building blocks can be combined into actionable knowledge Dashboards of all kinds. But there are actually quite a few more hidden gems in the **Climate Web**, and several of them are profiled on this page.
Pre-Populated Searches
The Climate Web is a comprehensive solution, but it can’t contain everything, and it can’t stay completely up-to-date across hundreds of climate-related topics.
Pre-set search strings help you scan for materials that might not yet be in the Climate Web, as well as track topical conversations on social media. Pre-set search strings can include:
- Twitter Hashtag Searches
- Google Searches
- Google Scholar Searches
- Google Image Searches
- YouTube Searches
- Vimeo Searches
- Quora.com Searches
- Reddit Searches
- DeepDyve Searches (professional journals)
What you’ll find in the Climate Web depends on what we’ve found to be the most useful search strings across more than 200 topics, totalling more than 2,500 searches.
If you are exploring pre-set search terms in the on-line Climate Web you will see them as URLs that you have to click on, and that will then open up in new browser Tab. But if you've downloaded the Climate Web, pre-set search terms instantly populate simply by hovering your moust over a search term. It’s a huge time saver in staying up-to-date on relevant climate topics. You can see how that works in this video.
Here are examples of the kinds of pre-set search strings available to you. You can’t tell from the link exactly what the target of the query is, but you’ll see it when you click on the link.
