Information Literacy Reflection

In order to effectively search for information I would use tools such as advanced search in Google. These tools would include using quotations for phrases, domain limiters (ex. -.com), and using Google Scholar. After finding the information that I needed I would evaluate it by looking at the webpage and finding the source such as the author or business to see if it has credibility. I would then browse through the website and look for important details such as the author, publisher, sponsor, and even the date that it was published. I wouldn't necessarily look at the aesthetic aspects of the websites because they could lead me away from finding true and real information.
