 Internet Resources

 Internet Search Tips

• Type the URL (web site address) of a search directory/engine in the address box (ex: www.google.com or www.yahoo.com, etc.
   
• (Be sure to type the address exactly the way you see it, including any uppercase letters and punctuation).
   
• Type in keyword(s). (If your keyword has two or more parts such as: "travel destinations", be sure to put quotes around it so
  that the search engine only finds the Internet sites on travel destinations as opposed to all of the sites containing the word
  travel  plus all of the sites containing the word destinations.
   

• If you would like to search for something specific about travel destinations, try a combined keyword search by adding a comma followed by a space and your other search term. For instance; if I wanted to find travel destinations in Africa, I would enter the following:

Hit Enter on your keyboard, or click on Search, then scan the description of the "hits" (entries) and click on the links that sound best.
Be sure to evaluate each Internet site for the following:

• Authority: Can you tell if the author is credible (believable)?
• Objectivity: Is the information objective (honest and free of bias)?
• Currency: Is the information recent and up-to-date?
• Design: Is the site designed in a clear and user friendly way?
• Navigation: Is the site easy to navigate through, and are all links current and usable?

For help evaluating information found on the Internet, refer to the guides listed in Evaluating the Quality of Information listed above.

REMEMBER TO CITE EVERY RESOURCE YOU USE in gathering your information on a
Works Cited (Bibliography) page.  Use the Works Cited Guide to access MLA format.
