                Library Databases vs. Google

• Index published, copyrighted scholarly journal articles
• May search thousands of journal at one time making better use of your
  time.
• Search terms may be combined to refine your results
• Find more suitable sources for your assignments that your professors
  expect.


• Google searches the “free web” that mixes various sources from
  commercial sites(.com), organizational sites(.org), governmental sources
  (.gov) and education sites (.edu).
• May find articles that match your search terms but you may have to wade
  through many (thousands) sites to find scholarly information and this
  takes time.

EVALUATING WEBSITES FOR AUTHENTICITY

Things to consider:
• Who wrote the page?
• What are the authors credentials?
• Can you verify the author’s credentials?
• Look for biographical information or the author’s affiliations (university,
   department, organization, etc.)
• Did the author include contact information?
• What organization is sponsoring the web page?
