Searching+the+Web

Check the back of the books that you have been reading. Some of the books list websites about your topic. You can trust that those websites have viable information.

SUBJECT DIRECTORIES** Using subject directories is a more efficient method for locating reputable sites because content is evaluated by people rather than computerized “spiders” or “robots.” Subject directories use a review process to evaluate Web pages before including them in their searches. Search results only include links to pages that have been selected for their content. Subject directories vary in the level of selectivity they use and generally retrieve fewer results than a search engine, but overall these sites are excellent sources for finding academic materials on the web.

**What is Google Scholar?** Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research. **Features of Google Scholar** **How are articles ranked?** Google Scholar aims to sort articles the way researchers do, weighing the full text of each article, the author, the publication in which the article appears, and how often the piece has been cited in other scholarly literature. The most relevant results will always appear on the first page.
