| Web Searching Tips | Web Site Evaluation |
| Keywords: Identify the basic words in what you are curious about. Wording your search into a question gives you keywords. Search Engines: These search through many sites looking for matching keywords. They usually give lists of hundreds of thousands possible sites for researchers to look through without guarantee that the information is accurate and trustworthy. They also list sites that have paid to be at the top. Search Engine Watch will give you tips on which search engine is best for what type of search. Clustering: These search engines 'cluster' or group sites based on keywords. Try Vivisimo or Teoma Directories: Most search engines allow you to look through a list of sites grouped by categories. This can help you narrow your topic and write a more specific question. Try Google Directory or Yahoo Directory Portals: Some organizations preview sites to create lists of quality. The lists of sites are generally grouped by topic. Try the Librarian Index |
Before you believe everything you read, here are some questions to ask: Who wrote the site? Do they belong to a specific group? Are they an expert at the topic? How do you know? Why did they write it? What is their purpose? Are they trying to convince the reader to a certain point of view? What is it? Who is paying for the site? Why would they pay for it? When did they write it? Was it updated recently - or in 1988?
