Biological Sciences Websites

Finding Websites

***See new section on Darwin commemorating his 200th Birthday in February of 2009***

Two good places to look for websites that have been reviewed are:

Librarian's Index to the Internet

Scout Reports

or look at the websites suggested below.

You can also use a search engine like Google. Just be aware of what information you are getting!!!!!!!!!

Ask yourself:

  1. Who put this information here? (Might they be biased?)
  2. What expertise do they have about this topic? (Are they a PhD at a university or Joe-Bob in his basement?)
  3. Why did they put it here? (Are they trying to sell something or convince me of a particular point of view?)
  4. When did they put it here?

Need Help? Have Suggestions?
