Journal Entry #4

The following journal entry was written on October 22,2012.
Prompt: When doing research, how do you know which source is credible and relavent?

Response: Usually, credible sources for the internet end in ".org, .edu. or .gov," so that is my first step in researching the topic.  For books, I steer away from fiction and lean towards biographies and autobiographies; nonfiction.  Other than those listed above, I really have no idea.  I guess steer away from no online blogs, unless you're searching for opinions of others.  Otherwise, the blogs will probably be too biased for a research paper.  Newpapers and professional journals are always promising ideas.
