Evaluating web sites:
It may be easy to find stuff on Google but how do you know what you find is any good? A great starting place for web research is the Web Wise Guide to Searching put together by the librarians at the Mudd. There are some guidelines and links for evaluating Internet resources on this guide and information about citing electronic resources in your bibliographies.
