How to se­arch the net

How to se­arch

  • Do not use Ger­man sour­ces and  trans­la­te them - these trans­la­ti­ons are ut­ter­ly hor­rid
  • Use as many re­le­vant words as pos­si­ble.
    • Ex­amp­le: for your gap year you want to find a non-pro­fit or­ga­niza­t­i­on that looks for vol­un­te­ers: à non pro­fit vol­un­te­er gap year (+coun­try + type of work)
  • If you know that there is a coun­try that you don´t want to go to or a job that you don´t want to do:  type in the sym­bol – (i.e. minus) with the key­word

 

How to tell if a sour­ce is re­lia­ble

  • Al­ways check the date when the web­site was last up­dated
  • Watch out for the URL en­ding :
  • “.gov” - a go­vern­ment site
  • “.edu” or “.​ac.​uk” or “.​sch.​uk”  - a site lin­ked to an edu­ca­tio­nal in­sti­tu­ti­on  (these sites tend to be re­lia­ble)
  • “.com”  - a com­mer­ci­al web­site (might  be bia­sed)
  • “.org”  -  a web­site run by an or­ga­niza­t­i­on (might be bia­sed)
  • very long URL and in­clu­ding re­fe­ren­ces to yahoo etc.  – in­di­vi­du­al per­son (li­kely to be very per­so­nal and bia­sed)
  • a blog/vlog (bound to be re­al­ly per­so­nal and the­re­fo­re bia­sed)

 

How to quote a sour­ce

  • Copy the link from the ad­dress line
  • Add the date and the time (ac­cess or down­load)
  • Re­mem­ber to do that also with sta­tis­tics and pho­tos
