Google Search Operators
Try using Google search operators when searching Google rather than conducting a general search. These operators power search for a more focused and relevant list of results.
Lateral Reading helps you determine an author’s credibility, intent and biases by searching for articles on the same topic by other writers (to see how they are covering it) and for other articles by the author you’re checking on. That’s what professional fact-checkers do. News Literacy Project
Example: site:archives.gov “Frederick Douglass”
Commonly used operators:
Reverse image search to find your images on credible websites. Save the image to your desktop, and paste the URL or upload into the search field. Find sites with .gov or .org domains.
Google Scholar helps you find relevant work pulled from scholarly literature. You may use Google search operators and limiters to focus your search. Tip: Custom date range results for 1848-1925. Ex. “Frederick Douglass”. You can also find case law custom dated and by federal or state courts.
