Searching for Information on the Internet

Chris Nolan came to talk to us about how to search for information and how to tell which of your results are to best to use. I didn’t know that when searching on Google that you could find the definition of a word by typing “definition:” in front of the word. I also didn’t know that there was a specific search that you can do to find scholarly souses. I’m going to use that information on a paper that I have to write later today. He also told us a list of things to look for when we are evaluation whether a source is reliable and these are to look at the author, publisher, intended audience, bias, substantiation of claims, reverences and the information being presented.
