Here are a few tips and tools to help you find useful information via Google.
When searching Google, you can use the <site:> command to target specific types of websites.
For example, if you wanted to limit your search to just government information, you could search:
<trade policy site:.gov>
If you wanted to limit your search to results from a specific website, you could search:
<trade policy site:nytimes.com> or <trade policy site:foxnews.com>
Using <site:> in multiple tabs allows you to compare different sources.
Although many of these resources provide citation tools, these tools are often problematic. See a Librarian if you have any questions regarding the accurate citation of sources.
