  2. Requirements for Assignment Total of THREE sources Only ONE Internet source Two Sources • Print • EBSCO - online database

  3. Requirements for Assignment MLA Works Cited page (can be easily done using EBSCO and EasyBib)

  4. Random Internet Searching • The most popular search engine on the internet is Google. • When searching, you will come across millions of hits for your query. • Do not expect all hits to be reliable.

  5. Wikipedia • Wikipedia is a good source for general information, but never use it as your primary or only source. • Anyone can edit or change information on Wikipedia, therefore you may be getting inaccurate, biased or poorly researched information.

  6. Reliability VERY RELIABLE: • Books, magazines, journals, encyclopedias, databases • Both print or electronic encyclopedia versions and online databases like EBSCO can be found on mauihigh.org Again remember: Wikipedia is NOT considered a credible encyclopedia

  8. A few questions to ask yourself when you are searching online…. • Is there an author? • Is the author connected to a college, university, organization, or company? • Is there contact information for the author?

  9. More questions to ask yourself when searching online... • Is it an advertisement for a product or service? • Is there a bibliography,references or works cited page at the end of the website?
