Smart searching
When searching in catalogs and databases:
- Be creative in the words you use; if one doesn't work, try something else
- Begin with keywords and use the subjects to find more information
- Use quotation marks around phrases
- Use catalog and database features to limit by date, language, type of article, etc.
Using Web Sources
Before using a website as a source for an academic paper, be sure to check it for accuracy, authority and objectivity:
Purpose: To inform? persuade? sell? entertain?
Authorship & authority: Who is responsible for the page? What are their credentials? Is the person or group creidible? An authority?
Objectivity: Does the site have a bias?
Accuracy: Are sources cited or acknowledged?
Currency: Is the site current? Is this important?
Completeness: Is the information complete or just a summary of information found elsewhere?
Citing web sources. Record all the information you'll need to cite a webpage or website:
*Author (if available) *Date of publication (or update)
*Date accessed *Title or description
*Title of complete work (if part of a larger website)
*Other relevant information (volume, page, etc.)
*URL
