Websites can provide up-to-date information and can quickly lead you to further information 

Websites can cover a range of information types. One way to filter out some of the randomness of general web search results is to use Advanced Search limiters or a specialized search engine to find specific results.

Advanced Searching in Google 

URL domains can be clues to a site's reliability and ownership. Common URL domains include:

• .com = commercial (ads & pop-ups)
• .gov = U.S. government (official agencies)
• .mil = U.S. military
• .edu = educational (colleges & universities)
• .org = organization (could be non-profit or for-profit, can be informative but often biased)
• .net = network (could be almost anything, including personal websites)

You can limit your search results to sites with a specific domain by using the "site:" search shortcut. "Site searching" examples:

• "politics in art" site:.edu (would find educational resources on this topic) 
• "politics in art" site:.gov (would find U.S. government resources on this topic)
• Note that there are NO spaces before or after the colon after the word "site"
