Domain-Specific Search
When using Google, you can increase your odds of finding credible resources by using a domain-specific search to pull information from specific domains such as .gov, .org, and .edu (but you'll still have to evaluate all information your find!).
- .gov - government (Federal and state government agencies use the Web to publish legislation, census information, weather data, tax forms and many other documents)
- .org - non-profit organization (Nonprofit organizations use the Web to promote their causes. These pages are good sources to use when comparing different sides of an issue)
- .edu - educational institution (Even though a page comes from an educational institution, it does not mean the institution endorses the views published by students or faculty members)
