Websites
Search Google for your topic keywords. Look for government, education, and/or organization webpages as well as news/magazine publications. Be cautious if using Wikipedia as the content cannot be verified.
Before using information found on a webpage, consider the following criteria to evaluate its credibility.
- Who is the author?
- What are his/her qualifications?
- Why was the website created?
- When was it last updated?
- How reliable is the information?
For further guidance, please refer to NOVA Libraries' How to...Evaluate Websites research guide.
Google Search Tips
Put phrases in quotation marks:
To search for your terms just in the titles of web pages, type intitle: in front of your terms.
Limit your results to certain domains (e.g., .edu, .gov, .org)
Search for the websites of organizations you read about in articles -- these organizations often have useful information.
