Find Info on the Open Web

• Google.com --> searches the open web for information

  • Use for preliminary research.

  • Pay attention to the important words, phrases, names you come across while researching --> use them later for more focused searching on your topic.

  • The Internet is great for preliminary research, but check with your professor before using web sources in your final paper or project.

  • Beware of unreliable sources!
