Finding Websites:

Remember as you are searching that it's best to use multiple search engines to get good results. Once a search engine has given you websites, you must always evaluate those websites before you use them for research. Check author and publisher credentials; when the site was last updated; whether the site gives fact or opinion; and what sources, if any, were used for the information posted on the site. Check the accuracy of facts you find on the web by comparing them to facts from a reputable source such as a print or online encyclopedia.
