Websites

Use the following tables to find websites for all types of information.  Keep in mind that not all websites contain reliable information. To learn more about how to evaluate the quality and credibility of a website, try UC Berkeley's Techniques to Apply and Questions to Ask, or go straight to their Web Page Evaluation Checklist.

Using the right type of web search tool will save you time, and get you better results. Search engine results are often very different, so use more than one, or try a Meta Search Engine to search more than one engine at a time.  Want to learn more about search engines?
