Internet Research Tips

Internet Research Strategies o Identify Keywords French Revolution o When you link search terms with these tags: AND – Commands the search engine to retrieve web pages containing ALL the keywords French and revolution OR – Commands the search engine to retrieve web pages containing ANY or ALL the keywords French or revolution

AND NOT – Commands the search engine to retrieve web pages containing one keyword but not the other French and not revolution Phrase Searching – Put quotation marks around a group of words so that the search engine will only retrieve web documents in which those words appear side-by- side. “French Revolution” “Artesian springs and wells”

Primary Source - Provide firsthand accounts of the events you are researching. i.e. diaries, letters, reports, photographs, autobiographies, memoirs Secondary Source - Created later by someone who did not experience firsthand or participate in the events you are researching. i.e. textbooks, articles, encyclopedias

Five Criteria for Evaluating Web Pages: Accuracy Authority Objectivity Currency Coverage

Accuracy o Is it someone’s personal page? *Identify the domain name - Domain name is a component of a website’s URL i.e. edu Commercial.com Education.edu Government.gov Military.mil Nonprofit organization.org Country code.us,.uk,.ca,.cn, etc.

Authority o Who is the author? o Is the author credible? o What are the author’s credentials on the subject? o If the author’s name is not provided on the website, look for an agency claiming responsibility.

Objectivity o Does the website indicate a bias? o What goals/objectives does the author or agency hope to meet? o Why was the website created and who are the target audience? o How in-depth is the information?

Currency o Is the website dated? o Are the links current or updated regularly? o Does the website have any dead links? o Is the information up-to-date on a time-sensitive or evolving topic? ie. science, health and medicine, statistical information * Undated factual information/statistical information  USELESS

Coverage o Are the links evaluated? o Is a special software required for viewing the website? o Is the information free or not? o Is there an option for text only, or frames, or a suggested browser for better viewing? o Does the website consist of all images? Or a balance of text and images?

Lastly… o Where did the author gather all the information? o Did he/she cite the information correctly? And don’t forget to give the author credit for his/her work!!!
