When doing research, it is important to use reliable, academic-based sources, such as the databases available in KYVL.
If you are using Google to find information, remember to evaluate the website for accuracy and credibility using the 5 Ws:
Who?--Who is the author of the article and is he/she an expert on the topic?
What?--What is the purpose of the website? Does it give facts or opinions? Are there a lot of pop-up ads?
Where?--Where does the information come from and does the author cite sources or give links for more information?
When?--When was the site last updated? Is it updated on a regular basis?
Why?--Why is this information useful and why should I use this site over another one?
