TIPS

  1. Use more than one search engine to find a broad range of hits.
  2. Use an Internet directory – experts have already searched for you.
  3. Use advanced search techniques (and, or, not, “”, *)
  4. Create a folder for your research topic and place links in the folder until you are finished your research.
  5. Consider bias and reliability of any information found on the Internet
