The Internet is loaded with helpful resources, but remember to evaluate all information with these standards in mind:

1. Purpose:  Does the level of discourse and presentation indicate that this is a scholarly site?
2. Authority:  Is the author/creator a recognized expert in the field?  What are the academic credentials?
3. Accuracy:  Are there obvious errors in content, grammar, spelling?
4. Bias:  Is the presentation balanced with differing points of view and respectful tone?
5. Timeliness:  When was the site last updated?

Using Google Scholar will limit your search of the web to scholarly materials and help you to avoid commercial and unreliable sources.
