How to research using the internet.  


Remember what Ms. Spayde taught you about using the "Premium Resources" link at the top left hand side of the www.columbuslibrary.org  website.

n  Don’t take the first 10 hits on a general Google search and stop.

n  Use books and journals for the most credible in-depth content.

n  Use bibliographies as valuable resources for research leads.

n  When in doubt, consult a librarian.

n   Find at least 4 sources.  Use articles, books, journals, and some websites that are reliable.  Ask the following questions when evaluating your online sources:

•         Are your online sources reliable? 

•         Do the websites you are using end in credible domain names, such as .org, .gov., or .edu?

•         Or do they end in the often more subjective and less reliable .com or .net?

•         Was the web source you are using posted by a professional writer, organization, or government agency?  Or was it posted by a blogger, an amateur writer, or a fringe group like the Ku Klux Klan?
