2. (Int'l) OWL: Internet Research and Resources - Searching the World Wide Web

The Internet is a terrific resource. It contains hundreds of web sites dedicated to thousands of topics. With so many sites, it is easy to get lost. Knowing the types of search tools available and mastering some general search tips can make your search more profitable.

Use caution when searching the web, though. Anybody with access to the Internet can post web sites about topics that interest them. These sites are not always accurate. Therefore, it also is a good idea to learn how to evaluate web sites. The Purdue University Library system's Core+ Tutorial provides helpful guidelines for evaluating sources. Purdue's OWL has a mini-tutorial on evaluating sources that includes evaluating Internet sources. There's also a great interactive tutorial on being an Internet detective on another site that you can visit if you want to work more on evaluating Internet sources.
