Finding Good, Current Sources
    • No matter what the copyright date of the website is, check the dates on the references and sources listed for the information. The website might have been updated recently, but that doesn't mean that the sources are current. 
  • Use search operators to narrow your search faster! Below are examples of Google search operators. If you prefer another search engine, the operators might be slightly different, so check their support pages and search tools.
    • "medical marijuana" gets you pages with that exact phrase - not just those two words separately
    • 2014..2019 gets you websites that mention any number between 2014 and 2019
    • site:.gov gets you results only from websites with .gov somewhere in the URL.
    • -juul eliminates pages with a result you aren't looking for (useful if your topic has a few different angles, and you're only looking at one)
    • You can get fancy with this by combining search operators in one search, too!
Citing Your Sources
  • Go to the Citation Help tab above for guides and more resources. Remember, you need to cite everything you use - pictures are information, too, since they help to communicate with your audience. (And find the actual source of images you find using Google!)

Here are a few government websites to get you started:
