Hudson Valley Community College Marvin Library Web Page Many students start their research by using a search engine like Google. This can lead to valid information for academic papers but it is wise to remember a few things about the web: Not all information on the Web goes through a review process. Anyone can publish anything on the web. Information on the Web is not permanent. Some information on the Web is not free. When selecting web sites, consider: accuracy, authority, currency, objectivity and whether it is appropriate for college research.

Hudson Valley Community College Marvin Library Web Page Google is a search engine not a fact checker. If you Google “cigarettes are good for you,” it will find web sites supporting that statement. Google Scholar may lead to more scholarly resources for your paper. Search engines often put their sponsored (businesses that pay) sites first. You can’t tell by the URL if a site is legitimate, although .gov are usually considered reliable. Use common sense. If you notice misspellings and bad grammar, find another site. Check the credibility of a source on another site.

Hudson Valley Community College Marvin Library Web Page Many professors will not accept Wikipedia as a source but it may help provide keywords and possible legitimate sources, (look at References at the end of the entry), that can get you started.

Hudson Valley Community College Marvin Library Web Page The same search done in Google Scholar can help you find academic sources on your topic. The trick is that not all information is available for free. Before paying for information, check our catalog and databases—you may have free access there. You can click on settings at the top to add HVCC to your library links.

Hudson Valley Community College Marvin Library Web Page This has already been done on campus computers. Click on Library links then type in Hudson Valley Community College. Check all the boxes and hit Save. This will link you to material that you have paid for with your tuition.

Hudson Valley Community College Marvin Library Web Page Some results will be available full text @HVCC. Just click to link to our database. Access to the full text (not just the abstract or citation) is necessary to use a source for research.
