New Research Sites
In order to conduct good research one must not only search for validity and truthfulness, but also check to see if the source is reliable. The sources that I have used in the past have included internet websites, journal articles, and cable news media. Once I have collected all the information that pertains to my research topic, I then compile all of the data and compare the info to each another in order to achieve reliable and valid information. Although, sometimes the information that is gathered can be biased in the publisher's writings. Therefore, I have had to seek other research sites that have unbiased information. One of the sites I have started to use more often to do research is on my very own university's library website, http://library.neiu.edu/. On my school's library website I can search for history books, peer reviewed journals, and other forms of reliable texts and media that can be in turn very useful to any particular research assignment. Then if I want to check out a book, article, or journal, I can easily access it from the book shelves at the university's library. If the school happens not to have the book or article I can easily have it transferred from another university to my university within a couple of days. By using my school's library website I have obtained more reliable information in which I can apply to present and future research topics.
