Using & Evaluating the Web for Research

Posted on November 24, 2009 by Astrid

This academic enrichment workshop took place in the library on November 4 from 12:45 to 1:15.  This workshop was very informative because it taught me things about the different search engines online that i never heard of before.  Most of the websites that students get information off of are inaccurate and biased.  For example, Samspade.org allows you to check if a website is registeres with the government.  Besides samspade, the intsructor also showed us a list of websites that are good to find information and legit.  A good website used for school is Google Scholars.  I actually started to use this search engine after this workshop.

About Astrid

My name is Astrid. I am 17 years old, well turning 18 on Sept 25. I was born in the Dominican Republic, and came to the United States at the age of 3 so I was basically raised here. I lived most of my youth in Queens, and moved to East New York (Brooklyn) about 4 years ago. I graduated from Murry Bergtraum High School, which is a business HS so I majored in Accounting. I decided I didn't want to go away for college, so I came to Baruch and I'm planning to hopefully major in Accounting if I don't change my mind along the way.
