Knowledge is Empowerment V. Internet Search Engines: URL & Open Sources (Google Scholar, OPENDOAR, OAISTER) The Internet has hundreds of search engines to assist such as DOAJ, Oaister, BioMed Central, WEB MD, WHOLIS, RXlist, ENTREZ, HIGHWIRE Press, Google books, Google Scholar, etc. Consider the source when using the Internet: –Is the source credible? (Nationally recognized & academic- peer review journals). –Keep in mind that almost anything one can imagine may be found on the Internet and non credible material as well

Knowledge is Empowerment Uniform Resource Locator (URL) The URL is important because it tells the reader the EXACT location you retrieved the information. However, there is a structure to the URL. Let’s examine the structure of the URL from the previous slide: http: The Internet protocol that sends information from the server to the computer Scholar. google: 1 st part of the domain name identifying Google Scholar as the host for the specific web page com: 2 nd part of the domain known as the top level domain. This informs the user of the type of organization, commercial. Can you guess what.edu denotes? Right, educational institution ! Unfortunately, when conducting Internet research the domain name alone may not provide enough information for the reader to retrieve the source. So...next slide, please! By identifying the domain in the URL, you know what University, Institution or Government Agency is responsible of the document and therefore the information’s credibility.

Knowledge is Empowerment Google Scholar Keep it simple when searching the Internet: look at dates, sources and full text. Domain (University of Virginia) and Type of Organization : (edu) education Domain : journal (BMJ) and Type of Organization: (com) commercial Please filter your results by year and checking (pdf= full text), the domain and organization.
