Web Sites

 

The World Wide Web is a vast repository of publishing by individuals and organizations.  Some of the sites will be useful in your research; most of it will not be appropriate for a college-level research paper. 

Module 1E will cover the basics of doing a general search on the Web by topic.  In addition to doing your own Web search, you may find references to Web sites in indexes.   These Web sites have been reviewed by the people who select citations for the index and deemed serious enough to include in the subject area index.

Here is a citation for a Web site from a paper index:
