Welcome back! This week we went over how to correctly identify resources that help with research and just basic searching. It is important to note that searching has a finite answer whereas researching requires some digging and additional effort. A cite must be reliable, have good quality, and easily operated in order to be considered a good resource for either searching or researching. For researching, it is always important to fact check and cross reference sources so that information is as accurate as possible before drawing conclusions. The sites must also have information that is easily useable such as little to no ads (these can show that false information was put out just to make those sites look good) or the information is free as a public resource. These both show the best interest of the viewer in mind. The site should be elaborative when giving information. It should not be sketchy with a one sentence answer (like a magic 8-ball) and should include more on the topic that you have searched or were researching. Sites can be seen as more reliable when multiple resources to draw their own conclusions are listed below. This can also help with building ones own bibliography at the end of a paper. In the future, I plan on making sure that resources are not privately owned before putting more credit into then than they are worth.
