Using Websites for Research
Websites can be a good place to find information, but website information is not always as reliable for research as database information. Always use caution and try to mostly use websites that end in ".edu", ".org", etc. This doesn't mean that ".com" websites are all bad, but if in doubt ask your teacher or librarian! You can also do a website assessment yourself using this worksheet.
