This useful infographic introduces some useful search strategies to better use Google for academic searches.  Please keep in mind that this is primarily for non-academic sources (i.e., those things you would normally find on the Library webpage).

Search within a domain (.gov, .edu, etc.) to focus your search on potentially more trustworthy sources:

  • site:.gov = government sites
  • site:.edu = educational sites (not always colleges!)
  • site:.org = some reputable organizations (make sure to evaluate!)
