Hi Ms. Sobieski's classes, Today we reviewed where to find quality information for your research. Please use the Ebsco databases, especially Points of View and Student Research center for finding periodicals. To get to Ebsco, go to Favorites and then Research Links.
Please use the following guidelines for websites:
* no Wikipedia or "answers" sites
*Check out who the author is. If you cannot find the author or they have poor "credentials" (i.e. no qualifications) you cannnot use that source. Check with Ms. Emili or Ms. Sobieski if you are unsure of the author.
*You can ALWAYS use: .gov
*You can USUALLY use: .org, .edu (CHECK THE AUTHOR)
*You can SOMETIMES use: .com (If it is a well-known site, like New York Times, National Geographic, etc.)
*You should AVOID: .net, any personal blogs or websites unless the person is an expert.
