Library
If you are looking for credible sources for a topic you are researching, your best bet is to start in the UAGC Library. We recommend that you begin your research using the Library OneSearch box because it searches across most of the library’s databases at once. For additional guidance on using this tool, please see the Library OneSearch tip sheet.
Web Search
You can also try locating credible sources on the web. Please keep in mind that anyone can post anything on the web, so you’ll need to carefully review the content you decide to use.
One trick you can try to make sure that you only receive results from credible sources, such as government or educational websites, is to add site:.edu or site:.gov to your searches. This tells the search engine that you only want to see resources from these domain types.
