  4. What to Look for: • Authority (who) • Objectivity (purpose) • Accuracy and Completeness (verified) • Currency (date) • Technicalities (the website itself)

  5. Work Smart!Move from General to Specific • Google - www.google.com • Wikipedia • University Websites - pretend you are more than just a high school student and take a look • Museum Websites - original source & expert opinions • Government Websites – look for bias • Newspapers & Magazines – be critical

  6. Places to “go” for Academic Sources: TDSB Virtual Library – online databases organized by subject http://www.tdsb.on.ca/findyour/schools/librarycat.aspx?schoolno=4110*linked in moodle (ASE One News), passwords included *Teacher Favourites: CIA, GALE, Global Issues in Context, Canadian Points of View, Novelist and full access to Stats Canada www.jstor.org • It is the Costco of academic journal databases. FREE! • For full access use it @school (but not via wifi) and/or @home via Toronto Public Library (need a library card) • Create a folder (save paper) of potential journal articles about your topic and then discuss them with your teacher in consultation.
