Evaluating Websites
Not all websites have value. Make sure the websites you choose are useful and reliable by checking the CRAAP test and 5W's:
Smart Searching Using Google
You may search only education, government, or organization sites by making use of those sites’ suffixes in your search query. Use the following format in the search bar:
query site:.edu OR site:.gov OR site:.org
Remember to put search terms with two or more words in quotation marks so the search engine knows to look for that term as a single idea.
For example:

Source Citation
REMEMBER: Databases provide the citation for you. Look for the link to citation tools (Gale), the blue check mark (Britannica), or the citation at the bottom of the page (CQResearcher and ABC-Clio). Save the MLA format of your citation.
